PAST PATIENT UPDATE: Nearly 20 years after her life-saving HeartGift surgery, Christy reached out to us to share her latest news. ❤️🎁

When she was 7, Christy traveled from Honduras to the US to treat the four defects in her heart surgically. Now married with a precious daughter of her own, her journey is a powerful reminder of the ripple effect of healing. Her story doesn’t just end with her … it continues with the life she’s built and the family she’s created. From being a little girl seeking care, to having a little girl to be able to care for.

What a beautiful testament to the impact of that care! We luv, luv, luv to get these types
of messages!

KIDS HELPING KIDS! ❤️

Before heading home to Honduras, 5-year-old HeartGift patient Sterling got to visit a 1st grade classroom at Bethke Elementary in Katy Independent School District where the students who helped fund his life-saving care got to meet him in person.

Led by teacher Gabriela Chapman, these students didn’t just learn about kindness—they lived it. Through their fundraising and donation efforts, they played a real role in helping save Sterling’s life, and this moment brought that impact full circle.

From welcome signs to building Legos together, the room was filled with joy, connection, and a powerful realization: these children’s actions made a difference in the life of a child just like them! This is what happens when compassion turns into action ... and kids see the impact firsthand.

4-year-old Rayan recently sent a message to HeartGift Houston's executive Director Janna Altmann thanking her and HeartGift for his healthy heart. ❤️

After receiving life-saving treatment for Tetralogy of Fallot, a combination of four defects in his tiny heart, in January 2026, he’s now back home in Haiti and thriving. Hearing his voice full of gratitude was a powerful reminder of what this work makes possible. Today, Rayan is simply being a kid—and that’s everything.

Sending all our love your way, Rayan! ❤️
