Foundation Spotlight 💫🫀Navid’s Journey

Navid’s story is one of perseverance, courage, and hope

Diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome at his 20-week anatomy scan, Navid and his family have faced challenges from the very beginning. By the age of four, Navid had already undergone three major heart surgeries, including the Fontan procedure in November 2024. When that surgery was unsuccessful, his journey took an unexpected turn. In March 2025, Navid was admitted to the hospital with heart failure and never made it back home. He was placed on the heart transplant list, where he waited 380 days for his second chance at life. On April 8, 2026, that second chance arrived. Navid received his gift of life, a new heart.

Today, he is recovering from his transplant with a smile, inspiring everyone around him with his courage. His journey is a powerful reminder of the lifesaving impact of organ donation and the strength of patients and families who never give up.
