We raise awareness. We educate. We support heart families. All because of special little girl named Sophie.
In May of 2012 Sophia Capo was born. She was a special and amazing little girl, with a broken heart. Due to delayed detection, Sophie passed away 15 days later. We now share her story with others in the hopes of saving lives and increasing early detection. We work with families affected by CHD's and benefit those that support them. Help us bring attention to one of the most common birth defects that kills more kids every year than all childhood cancers combined. What if it was someone you loved?
Congenital Heart Defects occur in about 1 out of every 100 births. Sophie was born with a broken heart and now we are touching lives to honor hers. More children die each year from CHD's than all forms of childhood cancer combined yet CHD's receive far less funding and attention. As parents of such a special little girl, we had to share her story and her life. Part of how we got here was the experience that we had during Sophie's stay on Earth. Family, friends and total strangers reached out to us to let us know we weren't alone. Having a child with such an extreme health condition can take its toll on families not only emotionally but financially as well. We received help in our darkest hours and for that we are forever grateful. Now it is time for us to help families in need. From parking expenses, meals, medical bills and God forbid burial expenses, we have been ... "In Your Shoes". We will never get to be Sophie's parents in the traditional sense but we can be her parents by sharing her story and bringing attention to CHD's in the hopes of saving lives and impacting others!
