Those who have followed us for a long time might remember Matthew Brown, better known as “Mattman”, who came to stay at the House over 10 years ago when he received his life-saving heart transplant at just 5 years old.

Matt quickly became a House favorite, running around with his Batman cape and larger than life superhero personality. Since his transplant, Matt and his mom Kelly have continued to return to the House for follow-up appointments. Kelly has also stayed connected to mission, most recently through her talent as an artist by participating in our Strokes of Kindness Art Contest!

Matt, who is now 15, and Kelly recently came back to the House for a follow-up, and we had the chance to snap a picture with them and Kelly’s beautiful submission to last year’s art contest.

If you’re interested in joining Kelly and participating in this year’s Strokes of Kindness Art Contest, click here to learn more about how you can participate: https://ow.ly/6qRM50UPSGY
