PonyPride, move or delete if needed.

Jeffrey Has Heart was started following my son's 8 hour open heart surgery in 2015 at age 16. He is now a Junior at SMU and in the Mustang Band drumline, and the foundation was founded in part by the generosity of many coaches and staff in athletics on the Hilltop, as well as many many others.

Jeffrey Has Heart (501c(3)) has helped 70+ different families in just 4 years with lodging, meals, and gifts while their children endure heart surgery. Each time a family is assisted it costs JHH $1,500 on average, which means your generosity has been upwards of $120,000 in the past 4 years.

Zach Line and and his wife, McKenzie, are the JHH Advisory Board, and are outstanding ambassadors for the cause.

13yo Joshua is awaiting a heart transplant and having trouble breathing due to poor lung function. He just had lung surgery. He needs a heart to survive. Keep him in your prayers. He’s been hospitalized in Dallas Children's for 7 months and is in extremely poor health.

If you have the ability to pay it forward (even $5), they are in need of hotel, food, and transportation. Every single dollar helps. Thank you.

Was fortunate to get Norma's Cafe in Dallas to cover several meals. Still trying to get another month of hotels set up for heart family.

Thanks for any support and everyone stay safe!
