CHD Families of Tucson has been working for the past year to stretch beyond “Tucson” and support CHD kiddos from Southern Arizona in general. We love to connect Heart parents with one another, and watch as little communities pop up across the lower half of the Grand Canyon State. We find ourselves particularly heart-warmed by our growing group in Safford, where we have some of our sweetest families and also a pocket of our staunchest supporters. We’re so happy to share Westin with you, and we hope to continue to cheer his family on in the future!
