Friday – August 17, 2018
Orange Day
We are pleased to share with you that Kadie (daughter of Karmen and Tim McCain) was blessed with a new heart this week!   Kadie is currently recovering like a rock star.  This has been an emotional time for the family celebrating the “Gift of Life” they have received knowing that another family is grieving the loss of a loved one.  They want to share with all of us the need to consider becoming a donor……..Give someone else the gift that will last a lifetime!!!!  You can find Kadie’s story at https://www.facebook.com/HeartAssocMN/videos/321042908632892/?hc_ref=ARRFGS5RBahjJYLsg47ukZUhIt_XocVp1lcH5uV_iTquBC8TtnIPmqXv1dP2_ZeUPVg&fref=nf&__xts__[0]=68.ARAHqYoLFszKQdIlF5FS4_2cylyygXwYffT8exEdH8KUqSo74LiyyTUj0izqFgcpXAg0BfkfXMW2zJIAF9B0befLrhxcRaMDIB92Vwfu6vy7L3MqWivCvIEGIHWl9A5U6H0wrNxkVNLV&__tn__=kCH-R
