Laura was a beautiful little girl born June 6 1998 with Tetralogy of Fallot, a severe heart defect.

At eight month old she stopped breathing long enough to suffer neurological damages.

Laura went trough several lung and heart surgeries, she was given poor life expectancy and yet Laura fought trough every challenges that was put in front of her.

Laura had a beautiful smile who touched everyone! She was the inspiration of love and hope in a world most of us do not believe in anymore.

Every day for 16 ½ years, you could see Laura taking a stroll with her parents or her nurse around the neighborhood in her very cool custom made wheelchair-stroller. Every one knew her and waved a joyous “Hi Laura !” when she was passing by. Often people would stop to talk to her. She would look at them with her deep hazel eyes and long eyelashes and give back that killer smile. Though she did not speak, she spoke the language of Love. Her energy was so beautiful and powerful, she was coming through without words.

She was the happiest little girl. For most people it is hard to believe under those circumstances, but she really was. She was deeply loved and she loved us back.

She was “the wind beneath our wings”. She gave us strength, she taught us patience and determination.

Laura passed away October 24, 2014 at age 16 from Pulmonary Hypertension, a side effect of multiple cardiac surgeries. We miss her every day….

Laura loved music, children, her older brother Alex and her dog Marley.

The Foundation is her legacy.  We want to put a smile on every sick child. Help us do it…
