My name is Tori Brown, and I am the proud mother of four incredible children: Brandon (13), Nyla (12), Nasir (5), and Zion, who will join our family in mid-February 2025. Born and raised in Tennessee, my journey as a mother has been a testament to faith, resilience, and the power of love. This journey took a profound turn when Nyla, at just one month old, was diagnosed with Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD), a severe congenital heart condition. The road ahead was daunting, filled with countless hospital visits, four major heart surgeries, and the looming need for a heart transplant. When Nyla was 4 years old, we were blessed beyond measure to receive the Berlin Heart, that bridged Nyla to a successful heart transplant. A miracle that changed our lives forever. Every day, I thank God for the gift of life and the strength He has given us to overcome the impossible. Inspired by our experiences, I founded the Nyla's Heart Foundation to give back to families facing similar battles. Our mission is to support those who are walking the same challenging path we have traveled, offering hope, resources, and a community of love. With faith as our foundation, we are committed to making a difference—one heart at a time.
