A companion to the book by Ieva Gerdena

The true story of a boy born with half a heart.

Before he was born, Rafael was given a diagnosis with no easy answers: hypoplastic left heart syndrome, half a heart. What followed was a journey from Latvia to a cardiac ward in Leeds, seven months of intensive care, and a family who chose faith in the dark. Rafael is ten now, and very much himself. This is where you can see the photographs, read the story, and find others who understand.
