Heart Donation = Thank You Key Fob

September 21st we will celebrate 2 years since the amazing doctors and nurses worked together to fix Amon’s heart.  This subject…thinking back on that time…makes me really weepy.  It brings about such emotion and thankfulness.  An insanely deep gratitude to Jesus for all the healing He has done in our family and in Amon’s heart.  Amon’s heart surgery and his almost month long stay in the hospital was such a hard time, but a time where God gets every bit of glory for how He worked and moved and healed and continues to work and move and heal.

Amon still has regular cardiologist appointments to check in on how his heart is doing.  He will need another surgery around the age of 10, so our family is passionate about the research being done about heart disease.  There’s a chance with the direction technology is moving, that when it comes time for Amon’s next surgery, they may not have to open up his chest, but instead go in through his thigh.  This is crazy to me.  And how awesome that would be.  This is why research is so important.  Working towards answers.

It’s that time of year again and our family is gearing up for the American Heart Associations Nashville Heart Walk.  This is a huge fundraiser for the American Heart Association and it’s our honor to participate.  When Amon was diagnosed with tetralogy of fallot in Ethiopia our family was immediately tied to the fight against heart disease…to work together, to help raise awareness and funds.  We will be walking this year again in honor of Amon.

We’ve done a lot of things together through this internet friendship.  You’ve raised money for tables and chairs for kiddos in Swaziland, you’ve paid for a years worth of school funds for the kids at the Ngungwane carepoint and last year you guys raised over $6,000 for the American Heart Association in honor of Amon.  You guys are crazy awesome.

And again I come asking for your help.  People have their passions…what pulls their heart strings…and this may not be one of them and that is totally cool, but if it is, would you be willing to make a donation in honor of Amon?  You can CLICK HERE and use the ‘give now’ button on the right side.  Easy, easy and tax deductible.  Our family’s goal this year is $5,000.  That’s lofty I know.  We can’t do it alone and need your help.  And if you can’t donate, you can always just share Amon’s page…share his story.  Share about God’s goodness and mercy on his little life.

Also if you make a donation of $15 or more, I will send you a free key fob as a small ‘thank you’.  This year I have an app for AMON’S PAGE so I can see who makes a donation, but I still cannot access your personal information.  If you would like your ‘thank you’ key fob, after you make your donation be sure to send me an email at pitterpatterart at gmail dot com with your name and mailing address.  I will gladly make key fobs until my fingers fall off for this cause.

We would be so honored to reach our goal with your help.  We have about one month to do so.  Thank you so much in advance!

Happy Wednesday!
