This is the same procedure and hospital Lincoln had his surgery at. This video made me cry.

In 2009, while still in her mother's womb, Gabby was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Now at age 4, Gaby has undergone 2 open heart surgeries ...

Ok everyone today is a very exciting day. Today we received confirmation from the IRS that Lincs of Hope, The Lincoln Baker foundation (which helps children suffering from HLHS as well as other heart problems ) if people donate money to us it is 100% tax deductible we are officially a public charity. We have not gotten any donations yet but I'm happy to report people are more willing to donate to a charity that is 100% tax deductible so this is going to be the beginning of a wonderful journey. I'll update you as time goes by once we are officially up and running and able to take applications for assistance. That's for all your support.

Well everyone we have officially filed for our 501(c) 3 status, this is huge for us, 5 years it took us to get this far and I am happy to say once we get that approved only big things to come... The goal is to help people and help lots of people. I am the mother of Lincoln Baker and Most people do not understand what it feels like to helplessly sit in the hospital for a long period of time praying that your child lives. No one goes to work because the people who love him most can not do anything and just want to be there for them. But bills keep rolling in and your other children still have to eat and feel loved. It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, and that's what we want to help people with. That time while they are in the hospital and their child is fighting for their life. This is our dream to help when it counts the most when people need it the most when people don't need to worry about the financial part of things and should be able to focus on their child. 5 years coming but it is finally starting to come together.

website is still under construction but the address is http://.lincsofhope.com

Dealing with 4 toddlers during spring break and trying to create a webpage its hard hard hard lol but I'm getting it done very slowly. Keep checking in to see my progress.

Also in more exciting news I have figured out how to give Jean Garrett Admin privilege's on this page so you will be able to get more updated and Inside to what it feels like to live in the world of a Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome family. Lincoln is almost 5 years old he is not very verbal and Autistic so he can not tell me what is like to actually have HLHS but I have read some stuff from my HLHS survivors on this page and I am so proud that this page is doing just as I intended it to do when I created it 5 years ago, its helping people. When I made this page I was practically living in the hospital with Lincoln and need to talk to other people who knew anything about HLHS, we knew nothing, I needed help, I needed answers, and I really just needed other people to talk to. The people on this page have been with me during the hardest times in my life and at a time where we could fins nothing else like this on the web. So please share, ask, discuss and I promise it will help everyone like it has helped me.
