PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – United by shared grief, Holly Campbell of New York and Kim Scadlock, formerly of Oregon, have formed a unique connection.

Scadlock’s son, Beckham, was diagnosed with a critical heart defect at birth, leaving a transplant as his sole hope for survival.

“Doctors initially told us the wait could be around six months, with only a 30% chance of obtaining a heart. We understood he had just weeks left,” Scadlock recounted.
