When she was just a child, Heather’s life was altered by an accident that completely
destroyed many of her internal organs. The doctors gave her no chance of survival, but with
God’s grace, she proved them wrong. When they said she would live her life in a wheelchair,
she defied them again. And though they insisted she could never have children, she gave birth to two. When
others said no… God said yes.

Now an adult, she lives a life no one thought possible – except for her mother, herself and the angel who came to
visit her in the hospital. More than a story of suffering and survival, Heather’s life is a testament to the power of faith.
From the first decisive moments after the accident, Heather and her mother realized everything was out of
their control. So they put their trust in God, and let Him work in their lives. Though surgery, pain, and medical
debt are still part of Heather’s reality, they do not consume it. With her husband DeWayne, and her
daughter, Mackenzie – the two greatest miracles in her life – she has found great joy, and many reasons to
give praise.
