His name is Samuel. His family called him Sammy—and Ham Ham. ❤️

Samuel Rowan Lopez loved glazed donuts, Pop-Tarts, music, dancing, and giving kisses. He was curious, independent, sweet, and a little sassy—a little boy with a big personality and beautiful honey-brown eyes.

After we shared Maverick’s journey, Samuel’s mother, Shiann, reached out to us. She wanted us to know the precious boy whose donated heart gave Maverick a second chance at life.

But first, she wanted us to know Samuel for who he was.

“More than anything, I want people to know Samuel for the little boy he was.”

Born on January 21, 2025, Samuel filled his family’s days with joy. Just two days after his first birthday, he experienced a drowning accident. Despite intensive care, his brain injury was too severe, and he was declared brain-dead. On February 4, 2026, Samuel became an organ donor. His heart was transplanted into Maverick.

For Shiann, knowing another mother gets to watch her little boy grow brings comfort alongside the heartbreak of missing her own son. She celebrates Maverick’s chance to make memories while carrying all the dreams she had for Sammy.

She hopes Samuel’s story will encourage families to learn about bathtub safety, drowning prevention, and CPR, while helping others understand the life-changing gift of organ donation.

At Malachi’s House of Hope, we are honored that Shiann has trusted us to introduce Samuel to our community. As we support Maverick and his family, we also make room to remember the child and family whose lives are forever connected to theirs.

Please join us in remembering Sammy—the dancing, snack-loving, kiss-giving little boy who was, and always will be, deeply loved. ❤️

❤️ Meet Maverick: A Little Boy With an Extraordinary Heart

Behind this beautiful smile is a journey of courage, love, and hope.

Born in May 2025 with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), Maverick underwent two open-heart surgeries in his first weeks of life. Months later, a serious illness led to cardiac arrest, weeks on a ventilator, and eventually a Berlin Heart to support him while he waited for a transplant.

Then, on February 4, 2026, Maverick received his precious gift of life — a new heart. ❤️

His family will forever be grateful for little Samuel, whose gift made Maverick’s second chance possible.

Even after his transplant, Maverick faced more challenges, including another hospitalization and surgery to address a severe airway blockage.

But look at him now. Home, smiling, and enjoying life! 🥹❤️

Maverick’s story reminds us that behind every medical journey is a child who deserves the chance to simply be a child.

To Maverick’s family, thank you for sharing his beautiful story with us. And to Samuel’s family, we honor the love and extraordinary gift that lives on.

This is why hope matters. This is why families matter.

🩵💛 A Special Visit. A Beautiful Connection.

Sometimes, the most meaningful moments happen without many words.

Today, Malachi visited sweet Mila at the hospital. Watching him gently reach out to her was a beautiful reminder of why Malachi’s House of Hope exists.

These two little warriors remind us that beyond the diagnoses, treatments, and hospital stays, there is something incredibly powerful — knowing you are not alone.

A tender moment between two children. A connection that speaks louder than words.

Sending love, strength, and hope to Mila and her family. 🩵💛

Before National Child Health Day comes to a close, we want to recognize the children and families at the heart of everything we do.

For families navigating Heterotaxy Syndrome, a child’s health journey can be complex—but no family should have to walk it alone.

Today and every day, Malachi’s House of Hope remains committed to Hope. Help. Healing. Home. 💛🩵 www.malachishouseofhope.org

Different hearts. Same bright future.

Today, on World Heart Day, we honor some of the strongest hearts we know. ❤️

For many children with Heterotaxy Syndrome, congenital heart disease is part of a complex medical journey that affects the entire family.

Today, we celebrate our Heterotaxy warriors, remember the precious hearts we have lost, and honor the families, caregivers, and medical teams walking beside them. 💛🩵

Different hearts. Same bright future.

💛 Another important voice joins the MHHO family.

We are honored to welcome Joshua Meisner, MD, as Medical Advisor to the Malachi’s House of Hope Advisory Board.

Dr. Meisner is a board-certified pediatric cardiologist and physician-scientist whose work includes congenital heart disease, cardiovascular genetics, and genetic cardiomyopathies. He cares for children through the University of Michigan Congenital Heart Center, including right here in Brighton.

For MHHO, his advisory role brings something especially meaningful: a physician who understands the complexity of the heart conditions our families may face and the importance of helping families understand what comes next.

We are grateful to have his expertise, perspective, and heart for families helping guide our work.

Welcome to Malachi’s House of Hope, Dr. Meisner. 💛🩵

💛 A meaningful addition to Malachi’s House of Hope.

We are proud to welcome Thomas Saba, MD to our Board of Directors as Clinical & Research Director.

Dr. Saba is a board-certified pediatric pulmonologist whose clinical interests include Heterotaxy Syndrome and Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia. His research includes respiratory ciliary dysfunction in children with Heterotaxy, and he currently leads a national working group developing a consensus statement on the management of Heterotaxy while helping advance the development of clinical centers of excellence nationwide.

For MHHO, having this level of Heterotaxy-focused clinical and research experience at the table is incredibly meaningful as we continue building stronger education, support, advocacy, and resources for our families.

Welcome to the MHHO family, Dr. Saba. We are excited about what we can accomplish together. 💛🩵
