Shop Till You Drop

Zoe’s dance recital was yesterday. The name of the recital was Shop Till You Drop and it was such a great show. All these girls (and a few boys) worked so hard the last few months and their hard work definitely paid off. Everyone did so wonderful. Zoe did wonderful, despite her losing a shoe during her tap routine. I may post the short video I took of her ballet routine here on the site but she made me promise not to put her tap routine anywhere (she’s a little embarrassed about the shoe mishap).

Here are some recital pictures. Thank you so much Elizabeth for doing Zoe’s hair (she won’t hate you forever I promise! haha) and thanks to Maggie for doing Zoe’s make-up! You guys made my muffin look so beautiful!

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.
