HELP SAVE A LIFE LIKE BECKY’S THIS HOLIDAY SEASON


Becky was always going to be something of a star in her close-knit family. But the way she entered this world – and her heroic fight to survive those early months – made her star shine even brighter.


Becky’s congenital heart disease would upend her family’s life in the first year, and then some. 

Before she was 10 months old, Becky underwent three open-heart surgeries.


Learn more about her remarkable story below and how your small gift can have a big impact.
