Triumphant Church honored two remarkable women on Sunday for their resilience in the face of heart failure, both of whom have undergone heart transplants and are now dedicated to raising awareness about the condition, especially during American Heart Month in February.
Courtney Hicks-Brown and Cande Calhoun, both heart transplant recipients, shared their inspiring journeys at the church. Despite grappling with the uncertainties of their battles against heart failure, they emerged victorious and are now committed to supporting others facing similar challenges.
For Hicks-Brown, the past two years have been filled with profound gratitude, having lived with a failing heart for over a decade before receiving a life-saving transplant.
Similarly, Calhoun recounted her transformative experience of surrendering to faith, recognizing the divine intervention that led to her heart transplant five years ago.
Both women emphasized the importance of prioritizing health and regular check-ups, urging others to be proactive in maintaining their well-being, especially regarding heart health.
Throughout their arduous journeys, the support of their communities has been a source of strength and solace, with Hicks-Brown expressing deep appreciation for her “village” that has stood by her side.
Their stories serve as powerful reminders of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of faith, community, and proactive healthcare in overcoming life’s challenges.
