In celebration of Mother’s Day, two mothers, Eva Havens and Michelle Evans, are holding on to hope as they await crucial heart transplants for their sons. Eight-month-old Raley Havens and one-year-old Sean Evans are patients at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, both diagnosed with severe heart conditions and reliant on Berlin Heart devices for survival. Despite the challenges and emotional toll, both mothers remain positive, supported by a community that understands their struggles.
Eva and Michelle have found strength in their shared journey, forming a close bond as they navigate the highs and lows of waiting for a life-saving transplant. Their sons, otherwise healthy, continue to reach developmental milestones, bringing joy and hope to their families. This Mother’s Day, the hospital has become a second home for both families, filled with love and support from the medical staff who treat Raley and Sean as their own. The anticipated call for a transplant will not only change the lives of the two boys but also bring immense relief and happiness to their dedicated mothers and families.
