José Galván
José is a five-year-old boy who lives in rural Immokalee, Florida. For the most part, he is a normal child who gets along well with his peers and loves Spiderman, playing with Legos, and watching cartoons.
Despite hard-working and dedicated parents—his father, an agricultural worker who spends long days in the fields and a mother who devotes every day attending to José’s physical and emotional needs—José will soon start school with a serious disadvantage.
Born prematurely, he suffered an infection that left him completely hearing impaired. José’s parents do not know sign language and helping José with his school lessons will be nearly impossible. In order for José to keep up with his peers, he will need to sustain home support.
Ten percent of proceeds from the sale of Zoo Rendezvous will go toward providing José with the resources and help he needs. Meet José and follow his progress at www.heightenedhorizons.com.
Most days, seven year old Hannah Harvey of Naples, Florida lives a normal life like other children her age. She enjoys school, playing with her siblings and pets, jumping on the trampoline and watching movies. When most children have a fever or the flu, they get to stay home from school and eat chicken noodle soup and popsicles while lounging on the couch and watching television. However, when Hannah gets sick, she faces emergent admission to the hospital so that doctors can carefully monitor her condition and administer specific life-saving treatment. Hannah was born with a rare metabolic disorder called LCHAD (long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency).
Emergency helicopter transports, prolonged hospital admissions, and frequent high-dose medications cause physical, emotional, and financial difficulties for Hannah and her family.
Hannah and her family celebrate the healthy days; Heightened Horizons is here to help during the more stressful times. Ten percent of the sales of Balloon Blessing will be donated to Hannah’s medical support fund. Meet Hannah and follow her progress at www.heightenedhorizons.com.
