Jesse and Kayla Harmon are parents to their beautiful daughter, Leilani, who hasn't had it easy. The girl was born with a rare heart condition that caused her to have "half a heart." Before she was even born, doctors were concerned about whether or not she would survive. With just half a heart, Leilani required three surgeries to get the one half to compensate for the missing half. The surgeries were an incredible success. Now at 2 years old, Leilani is thriving. All she has of the condition today is the small battle scar marked on her chest.
However, what has left doctors stunned is how Jesse and Kayla have handled the ordeal. Their daughter may be healthy now, but there are so many parents out there going through exactly what they want through. The couple has made Leilani's success story their inspiration. Together, they reach out to mothers and fathers to let them know that although it might be difficult, Leilani is living proof of hope. Leilani's doctor even gives their number out to families in similar situations.
"If they need somebody to tell that they're scared, too, let me be that person," Kayla says. It's incredible for the parents to be so positive after nearly losing their little girl, but it's pretty amazing that they've decided to pay it forward.
