Project Mom Bags

Hospital stays don't take a summer break, and neither do we. ☀️

This summer, we're hoping to raise $1,000 to help continue providing support and events to moms in the Cardiac ICU!!

Think of it as our summer plans 😉

When you see a Mom Bag delivery, you're seeing just one piece of what goes on behind the scenes at PMB ❤️

There are planning meetings, storage unit runs, event prep, bag packing, deliveries, and yes—even getting our kids involved whenever they can help.

It takes a lot of hands and a lot of heart to make this work, and we're so grateful for every volunteer, donor, supporter, and family who is part of it!

Mom Bag Delivery Day!

A fresh round of Mom Bags is headed to Dell Children's Medical Center !

These deliveries are one of our favorite parts of what we do—getting to remind moms in the CICU that they’re seen, supported, and not alone.

Austin mamas, these are for you ❤️

A look at what May looked like at Project Mom Bags ❤️

This month we:
• Donated 10 Mom Bags
• Hosted 2 Mother’s Day Sip & Shop events
• Packed Mother’s Day bags for Dell Children’s
• Received a $1,000 grant from Addison Rotary Club and shared about the impact of Mom Bags
• Sent 20 mini Mom Bags to heart moms in Zambia
• Celebrated Nurses Week with snacks + badge lights for CICU nurses

From hospital rooms in Texas to moms across the world, we’re so grateful to keep showing up for families in meaningful ways.

Thank you for being part of it all!

We loved getting to pamper the CICU moms at Children’s earlier this month. Thank you to all those who donated items or monetary funds to help us pull off such an amazing event! 🩷

Danielle Williams is sharing Andi Faye’s story — one filled with incredible strength, love, and courage through every step of her heart journey.

Though her time here was far too short, Andi’s impact will last forever. We’re so honored to share her story with this community. And something special is coming on 7/17 in honor of Andi’s birthday ❤️✨

"In April 2025, our journey changed when doctors discovered that Andi had a severe congenital heart defect. On May 1, she was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, along with additional complications that made her condition far more complex than typical HLHS cases. We were told her only chance for survival would be a heart transplant.

The months leading up to her birth were filled with consultations, planning, and prayer. We connected with other families who had walked similar paths and found hope in their stories.

Andi Faye was born on July 17, 2025. Within minutes, she was transferred to Children’s Health in Dallas, where she began an extraordinary fight for her life. At just one day old, she underwent her first surgery. At six days old, she endured a second open-heart surgery to place a single ventricle assist device (SVAD) and was officially accepted as a heart transplant candidate.

Over the next several months, Andi faced countless procedures, infections, and medical challenges with remarkable strength and courage. On December 17, we received the call we had been praying for—a donor heart was available. Her transplant took place on December 20.

Although the surgery was technically successful, Andi’s new heart never fully recovered. After fighting bravely through every obstacle, we said goodbye to our sweet girl on January 9, 2026.

In her five months and three weeks, Andi taught us more than we could have imagined. She showed us what true strength, resilience, and unconditional love look like. She made us parents, advocates, and stronger people. Andi was a warrior, and because of her, our lives are forever changed. Her legacy will continue to inspire us to help other children and families facing congenital heart disease."

We’ve loved sharing Heart Mom stories each month ❤️

Every heart journey looks different, and there’s so much value in hearing from each other and feeling a little less alone. If you’ve ever thought about sharing your story, we’d love to hear it!
