I found the most amazing organization, Healing Helpers. They make companions for children who have been through difficult circumstances. Their mission...
"The mission of "Healing Helpers" is to provide a means of comfort for individuals as they cope with medical situation. Our "Healing Helpers" physically relate with the person who adopts them, with a zipper pouch in the place of a scar and a mended heart representing their own. It is our desire to provide a service that brings hope and happiness to individuals and families that live with difficult medical circumstances."
The couple who founded Healing Helpers also has a daughter with a congenital heart defect. They know exactly how it feels to be in my shoes.
I discovered this organization about a week ago. I was super lucky to have just received a new Minnie Mouse from a friend of mine from high school (Thanks Jackson Family). I quickly contacting the couple, who were both amazing!
Last week, Natalie and Carter gave Minnie a good check and prepared her for surgery. Minnie then, "Zip-Flight" to Oregon, where where she will also undergo Heart Surgery like Natalie. The pictures I have seen are too cute! You tell them where you want the zipper placed and what you want in it, such as a mended heart, lung, bone. Of course, Minnie's zipper with be up and down on her chest like Natalie's and will have a mended heart inside.
I will for sure post pictures once Minnie gets out of surgery and by Natalie's side again. Check out the website, it is super cute and such a wonderful idea...
Psalm 147:3
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds"
Aww I love it!! I can't wait to see sweet Natalie reunited back with Minnie!
