Ava Kaufman
About
Ava is a Mom, an inspiration and a true miracle. Ava's healthy life came to an abrupt stop when she found herself in hospital with a failed heart. After 10 intense days of being kept alive by machines, Ava received a heart transplant, just in time to save her life. After her recovery, Ava, a Cancer survivor and former dancer, dedicated her life to helping others.
Ava volunteered at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center helping hundreds of candidates, transplant recipients and their families, through their transplant journey. Her story was featured on "NBC Nightly News." Ava established a non-profit, Ava's Heart, which provides support for transplant candidates and recipients. Ava is an Ambassador of Donate Life and helps to create awareness on Organ Donation.
Ava's most important role is being a loving Mom to her daughter Jade.
She still has a passion for dance and dances every week!
In her 'heartfelt' blog, Ava shares the stories of inspirational mother's on the same journey as her.
