15 days for 1,500 kids.
That’s how long we have — between now and Giving Tuesday — to raise $86,443 for a second pediatric echocardiogram machine. 💙🩺
This need is urgent — because kids like Kellin can’t wait.
This summer, 11-year-old Kellin went in for a routine dental visit. Everything seemed normal … until the hygienist noticed his blood pressure was dangerously high.
No symptoms. No pain. No warning signs. He looked like a healthy, active kid — but something serious was happening inside.
After readings climbed even higher at urgent care, his mom trusted her instincts and brought him to the Pediatric ER at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children. Within hours, an echocardiogram at our HH Heart Center Pediatric Cardiology Clinic revealed the cause: a critical narrowing of his aorta.
Because our clinic had the right equipment and expertise, it was caught in time. Kellin’s heart — and his future — were saved. ⚾❤️ Today, just three months later, Kellin has had surgery and is back with his teammates and the sport he loves.
Stories like Kellin’s are why this clinic matters.
In just its first year, our team completed 1,500 echocardiograms for children across North Alabama. And the demand keeps growing.
A second echo machine will let us reach 1,500 more kids next year, doubling capacity and enhancing capabilities for our clinic.
Your Giving Tuesday gift can help make that possible.
