Meet Nathan

Nathan and family joined the Yellow Door family in 2019 when they stayed with us for 32 days after Nathan’s heart transplant.

Nathan was diagnosed with cancer shortly after birth.  Though his treatment was a success, it did irreparable damage to his heart.  On Thanksgiving day, 2019, 6-year-old Nathan underwent a heart transplant!  Thankfully, the surgery went well and Nathan was able to recover with his family at our new  Rosie’s Place apartment!  He even got to play in snow for the first time ever during our one snow day of the season!

Nathan says, “Thank you for the house you gave us!  I will give you flowers!”

 

Update on Nathan

Nathan and family sent Yellow Door this video.  As you can see Nathan is doing great!  We are so happy for his recovery-a cancer survivor AND a heart recipient all by the age of six!
