About Andrew’s Bravery Box

Andrew’s Story

Andrew lost his battle with a congenital heart defect in 2019 at age 6. Throughout 8 hospitalizations and 7 procedures, we learned the value of positive rewards to help him through the toughest of procedures. We want to help other families with their journey.
