The following was read at our 2012 GoodHearts Foundation Dinner:
A friend of mine arrived from Manitoba to receive a new heart, and his wife and girls needed to be close to the Mazankowski Centre and we struggled to find appropriate accommodations.
As it turned out, she was the first heart transplant family member to rent one of your apartments and akthough her stay was brief, it was wonderful to have this opportunity.
My friend, the heart recipient, had too many other problems and the amazing heart he received wasn’t enough to make him better, and he passed away.
I wanted your organization to know that in the midst of all our sorrow and grief, it was such a bright spot to have connected with GoodHearts, and to know what a great need you are filling with the two apartments you have. I believe that unless you are in such a situation, you have no idea what families are facing in such times of stress and worry about a loved one, so knowing that you can provide a comfortable place to go to that is only moments away from your loved one’s bedside is a tru blessing.
Thank you for the good work hat you do. I have passed on this story to everyone as I talk about this experience with friends and family. And I will tell people about your organization should I ever see someone needing this help.

Testimonial - Liz & Bob
The following was presented at our 2012 GoodHearts Foundation Dinner:
I received a double lung transplant on Feb. 17, and am doing very well.
We had the privilege of staying at Kaelyn’s Place on Sasktachewan Drive. We really enjoyed the lovely apartment and a most gorgeous and peaceful view from the large window in the living room.
I spent many hours lying and resting on the couch and enjoying the view. We were very happy to have a nice place to stay while so far from home.
We appreciated, and still do, the GoodHearts Foundation’s generosity in allowing us to live in Kaelyn’s Place for almost three months.
Thank you for everything.
