Noah was born with Heterotaxy Syndrome and a very complex heart condition; DORV (single ventricle), mitral atresia and TAPVR. Despite enduring four heart surgeries and several angioplasties and procedures since birth, Noah Bella has never let her Congenital Heart Disease define who she is. It was during her last open heart surgery at the age of five that she was able to comprehend how meaningful i
t was to receive a thoughtful care package from the Hopeful Hearts Foundation. She immediately took comfort in this gift and wanted to see other children like herself feel as special as she did. Noah's personality is full of charisma, magnetism, strength, character, and an ever-present mindset to do good in this world. With Noah’s Festival of Life she continues to be an inspiration and an example to many people on how to lift the spirit and make a positive difference in the lives of heart families throughout the country. Noah’s mission is to help as many heart families in need by providing financial assistance for such expenses as travel, lodging, food, hospital parking, as well as care packages for families during their child's hospitalization to aid in comfort and healing. If it's not stressful enough to see a child undergo complex heart surgery, the additional burden of having to pay for these expenses during this difficult time is insurmountable for many. Noah would like to do what she can to ease this strain and allow these families to focus all their energy on their child. The Hopeful Hearts Foundation is the beneficiary of all proceeds from Noah’s Festival of Life. Net proceeds go to help families with children suffering from Congenital Heart Disease by defraying the expenses accrued during a child's hospitalization.
