Raymond's Story

Raymond was born with an abnormally small left side of his heart. Three open heart surgeries before the age of three left Raymond and his family hoping for a heart transplant, but Raymond’s body built up antibodies. His body would only reject a donor heart, so the family is forced to pray for a miracle.

“God has a purpose for his life, and until he fulfills that purpose, he’s not going to take him home.”

- Amy Clark, Mother

Rylee's Story

“Rylee is an amazing little girl with an infectious smile and heart-warming personality! Because she was born with Down syndrome and a heart defect, she has frequent medical appointments to keep her healthy and developing to her full potential!”

“Every child needs comfort, whether it’s provided by a pacifier, special blanket, or a CAPE! During a medical exam the Comfort Cape give kids the feeling of warmth, security, and to children who know stories about “super-heros”, a feeling of power and control. Every child deserves this, and Comfort Capes can give them exactly that!”

“I would have loved to have given Leila a Cape to wear on those days when she wasn’t doing so well – to remind her what a Superhero she is for enduring such pain and suffering.”
