A different view of Zoe

Posted on by

All the pictures you see here are of a very sick Zoe. I don’t want that to be how everyone sees her. People who know her will remember the Zoe in these pictures. Those of you who don’t know her get to meet her for the first time.

Showing off her new hair do and missing teeth.

This is my favorite. She always looks like sh’e up to something because she always is.

Zoe’s Heart began the day our world changed. My daughter, Zoe, received a heart transplant at just six years old. Six. In the span of childhood milestones and bedtime stories, we learned words like “transplant,” “rejection,” “ICU,” and “donor family.” We learned what it means to wait. To hope. To live in the in-between. This blog is our way of sharing the journey — the beautiful, the terrifying, the exhausting, and the miraculous. Zoe’s Heart exists for two reasons: To keep our family and friends updated as we walk this road. And to advocate fiercely for organ donation — because someone else’s yes saved my daughter’s life. This space is raw. It’s honest. It doesn’t pretend the hard parts don’t exist. But it also refuses to ignore the hope. We believe in celebrating progress, honoring the gift of life, and speaking openly about what transplant families experience behind hospital doors. Zoe is living proof that generosity changes everything. Thank you for being here. Thank you for following her journey. And if you ever find yourself wondering whether organ donation matters — it does. It saved our girl. Welcome to Zoe’s Heart.

    I remember doing kindergarten graduation interviews with the kids last year in my speech class. I will never forget precious Zoe. I’m definitely praying for all of you. my heart sincerely goes out to all of you. I hope you are uplifted through the prayers.

    Praying for you,

    Zoe looks very beautiful. I have a six-year-old daughter as well, and I just wanted to let you know that your family is in my family’s prayers!
