Behind every number is a person. ❤️

A child. A teenager. A mom. A dad. A brother, sister, friend, or loved one—waiting for the phone call that could change everything.

Right now, thousands of people across the United States are waiting for a heart transplant. Some may receive that call quickly, while others wait months—or even years—never knowing when, or if, their gift of life will come.

For families living through this, waiting can feel endless. Every day can bring hope, fear, appointments, hospital stays, setbacks, and the constant thought: Will today be the day?

These numbers aren’t just statistics. They represent real people with families who love them, futures they are fighting for, and lives they desperately want to keep living.

At A Heart Like Mine, we share this to bring awareness to the people behind the waiting list and to remind others just how powerful the gift of organ donation can be. ❤️

One donor can leave behind a legacy of hope.
One “yes” can give another family more birthdays, more holidays, more hugs, and more time.

Please keep every person waiting—and every donor family who makes the gift of life possible—in your heart. ❤️‍🩹

❤️ Everyone thinks their OB is the best until they miss their child’s CHD on the 20-22 week scan and say they the see all 4 chambers; but your child doesn’t have that many you’d find out later. ❤️
