Before and After

When Hannah first arrived in July, her tiny figure left all of our hearts aching... at 7 years old, she only weighed 31 pounds. She seemed forlorn and heartbroken, and she urgently needed heart surgery.


She had her first heart surgery on August 24, and we've already seen such a transformation. She's gained 6 pounds since she arrived, which is incredible considering the trauma of surgery, and her face is now bright with a happy smile!
