Heart Heros

This is Evan Turk. He is a heart hero! If you've ever met this little guy you would know how special he is. He is well spoken, friendly and easy going. He has also been through more in his 10 years of life, than most adults. Even though Evan had surgery coming up this year, he took the time think about others. He was tired of seeing all poor quality food that people donated to local food banks. He wished that people would donate better food to the people who really needed it. Evan did not sit around and hope that things would change....he went out and made a difference. He was on a mission! He went out and collected 3,883 cans and turned them in for money to buy good quality food for the food bank. Here is a picture of him with the food that he donated!!

What an inspiration Evan is. A few weeks ago Evan came home from having pace maker surgery. He is doing well and I'm sure he's already thinking about what his next project is going to be.....well after he gets back from Camp Taylor!

Zoo Trip

Instead of our annual picnic, Mended Little Hearts hosted a zoo day this year. The heat kept a lot of people at home this year, but those who went had a great time. We were also lucky enough to have Susie (heart mom to a 20 yr.old) come and give us information about the education system at our picnic lunch. Thanks Susie! And thanks to everyone who came out into the heat to see the animals!

Camp Taylor

On June 6th 5 families from Mended Little Hearts were able to attend family camp. Mended Little Hearts was happy to pay the registration fee for these families so that they could experience "The Seasons of The Year" at Camp Taylor. My family had a blast and I heard from other families that they also had a great time. Camp Taylor is a wonderful organization and really know how to make our heart kids feel special. In a few weeks we will also have at least 5 kids ages 7-12 will be heading to youth camp! Thank you Camp Taylor for the memories that will last a lifetime!
