OUR STORY

Welcome to GroundBreakers Coffee

Our story began the day our son was born. It was the happiest, most joyful day and the most difficult, scariest day all rolled into one. We didn’t know about the journey we were about to embark on.

He had not one, but two “congenital heart defects” and we had no idea.

We were shocked, confused (how did this happen?), scared (what did the future look like for him? For us?).

Thankfully, we had some of the BEST medical professionals taking care of him … and us.

Our son spent a month at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas where they have one of the top notch Pediatric Cardiology Departments in the country. He had two surgeries… one where one of his defects was corrected and another to greatly “improve” the other defect.

The next few years were challenging with appointments, medications, etc. And, because of his conditions, his developmental milestones were delayed and he also had some minor complications.

He had to have another surgery on one of his feet and Shriner’s Childrens Shreveport took excellent care of him, and, it didn’t cost us one penny.

Today, our son is a strong, healthy young adult who was so inspired by the excellent care that he has received in the medical field all of his life, that he is on track to begin medical school in a couple of years.

So, GroundBreakers Coffee was founded in order to “give back” just a little bit of what was given to us, and to continue to help fund “groundbreaking” research and treatments to heal, manage and prevent congenital heart defects in children.

Our goal is to raise $7,000 over the next 12 months by donating 15% of all sales of our delicious, fresh, roasted-to-order, specialty grade coffee to several organizations that are leading the way to make sure that all of our babies are born happy and healthy.

Won’t you help us reach our goal? We’re healing little hearts one cup at a time.
