Isabella-Big Hearts to Little Hearts

Here is Isabella, a lovely young lady who was the first to volunteer to have her portrait created her in out studio in Brielle.  Here is her Portrait and video below.

Isabella Hope was born with Hypoplastic Right Heart. Essentially, Bella functions with half of a heart. She has had 3 open heart surgeries at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The surgeries enable her left ventricle to complete the tasks of her entire heart. In addition, Bella suffered a stroke at birth.

When she was born there were only a handful of children who survived into adulthood. Today, Isabella is in 8th grade, she loves dance class, ice skating and hanging out with friends and cousins. While we know Isabella will have a long road ahead of her, we also know that through research and programs, Isabella and other children with CHD will have the chance to grow up receiving the care they need.
