Kindergarten Raises $500 for Amelia Spires's Heart Project

Mrs. Michele's class wore red and raised money today in honor of the Amelia Spires Heart Project! Amelia Spires is a Kindergartener in Mrs Palowsky's class this year. Amelia was born with a rare genetic mutation, which caused her to be born with multiple heart defects, some so severe that she was worked up for a heart transplant in 2019. However, God's amazing grace and a clinical trial medication out of Canada allowed Amelia to escape heart transplant and now grow into the thriving kindergartener she is today. The Amelia Spires Heart Project is a nonprofit organization that her family created to raise money for the pediatric families of Louisiana and the Gulf South region who have had to relocate to the New Orleans area to await a heart transplant and other major cardiac surgeries.
