How It All Began

At the age of 16, a young boy named Tyler was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, an enlarged heart. He had so much love for his friends, family, and dog Mia, that his heart grew 5 times its normal size! After months of hospital visits and tests, Tyler was placed in an Intensive Care Unit. With his health declining quickly, the last hope without a heart transplant was a BiVAD device, which is a machine that would pump Tyler's heart from the outside. Just before the operation, a new heart was found for Tyler! A man had lost his life in a tragic motorcycle accident, but because of his selfless decision to become an organ donor, Tyler was given a new chance at life in just the knick of time.

 

Tyler was Founder Hannah Langley's best friend. She saw this miracle unfold, but also the financial obligations that remained between the transplant expenses, doctors appointments, and new life changes. She set out with a mission to provide support, comfort, and funds to kids like Tyler; and so began  The Little Red Heart Foundation.
