My name is Izzy. I am 10 years old and I was born with heart defects. I had many surgeries and spent a lot of time in the hospital. I missed a portion of my life in the hospital or home sick.

It’s been 13 years now since I heard a doctor say, "there’s something wrong with your baby’s heart", but I still remember every single thing and every single feeling from that day.

Our Precious Victoria taught me so much in her short life. She taught me to see the world through the eyes of a heart mom.
