Gabriel and his family have been with our group since it’s early days. Since Gabriel is more of a young man than a “kid”, his mom has seen many things that are still new for parents of younger CHD kids, and she is quick to share her experiences or offer helpful input. She has also used her skills with two languages to offer comfort and help to some of our Spanish speaking families. We are so happy to have Gabriel and his family in our group, and we are thankful that we get to share his story with you all!
