The Amelia Spires Heart Project began as a labor of love for Louisiana’s bravest little fighters. Founded in 2023, our 501(c)(3) mission was to provide a lifeline for families navigating the emotional and financial strain of pediatric heart surgeries and life-saving transplants. Because of your incredible generosity, we have grown beyond our dreams. Today, we proudly extend our arms to embrace all patients and families at Ochsner Children’s Hospital, ensuring every child receives the care and comfort they deserve.
