It's the start of the New
Year, yet there are 11 children who are in urgent need of and are in-line
for heart surgery. If you are a parent, you know that no parent is happy
seeing their child ill. Heart disease has a great impact on families,
especially those with little children.  The presence of a serious
heart defect often results in an enormous emotional and financial strain
on young families at a very vulnerable time. A parent would do all they
can to get that child well; because when the child is not well, the
parent is not well. Sadly, as this is the start of the year, it is anticipated
that as the year progresses, many more children will need the public's
assistance with heart care.

is little Miss Grace Cooper.  At one week of age, Grace Cooper
was seen at Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport...
