Have a Heart - Kevin Kantz

Donation protected
Kevin and his family need our help.  As you may know,  after a few grueling years,  a miracle has happened!! By power of prayer and the Grace of God, Kevin was finally gifted a new heart. 
He awoke to a strong healthy heartbeat on Valentines Day! But it will be quite some time  until Kevin will be able to return to work.
They will need help with numerous household bills, co-pays, medications and travel expenses down the road.  Since there have been so many to ask how they can help,  we figured we would get this started. So let’s help them focus on healing and recovering rather than worrying about their bills.    Please donate any amount you can to help Kevin and his family through this difficult and exciting time. 

~This is an Ode written for Kevin, beautifully explaining his journey. The Author would like to remain anonymous.~


Ode to a New Heart

I started feeling poorly

quite a long while ago

they put me through a lot

been a rough road to hoe


the news it just got worse

my heart was giving out

why is this happening to me

i wanted to scream and shout


i’m still a young man

i have a family to raise

i do not have the time

to deal with this malaise


i can no longer work

i do not like this feeling

nothing is what it was

my whole life is reeling


time to face the facts

a necessity is the pump

why oh why God

on me did this you dump


it was quite a scare

to have to carry a machine

but it has kept me living

but on it i wasn’t keen


my family and my friends

they all rallied around

could never have imagined

all the love that i have found


i waited for the phone to ring

and prayed every single hour

for a new heart to come my way

because i believe in a higher power


the time well it did come

woke me out of a sound sleep

someone donated their heart to me

and it causes me to weep


we made it to the hospital

in the middle of the night

my nerves they are a mess

i’m feeling full of fright


the new heart is a match

i can’t believe it’s true

no more heart pump for me

my heart will be brand new


the doctors worked their magic

God gave a miracle to me

i’m feeling pretty darn good now

my kidneys work so i can pee


there is no pump beating for me

i can breathe now on my own

because my old heart

the coop it has flown


how can i ever thank

the generosity of one selfless soul

i will always think of them and their family

every time i take a stroll


i know that i have a ways to go

so please continue to pray for me

it will not be long before

me in person you will see


i will never forget this journey

i will never forget all your love

i will never forget my blessings
