Heart of Gold

You will always have my heart

Heart of Gold was inspired by a young cancer patient, Scott Kristopher Innes, at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

Scott's boundless and positive energy reflected on those around him, and as a result, good things continue to radiate from his spirit. His courageous spirit and kind smile showed me how one little heart of gold can continue to bring so much love, joy and comfort to others. It is my hope that this figurine expresses the pure and honest affection between a child and those who love and care for him.

Your Stories Tell Us Your Story

Our youngest son came to us through the foster care system. After five long years we were able to adopt him. He is a tormented soul who loves us very much, yet he has strong loyalties to his birth family. When I saw Heart of Gold it immediately struck me as a portrait of him; a heart held so close to his chest and vulnerable, yet so visible to those who meet him. I gave this figurine to his birthmother as she will surely appreciate the tangible illustration of her son's love for her.

I received Heart of Gold from my boyfriend when he returned from a London post, a one month journey where we could not talk to each other. I was amazed at the beautiful creativity. The figurine expressed all that my man wanted to express to me, and from then on our loved bloomed even more. It is my very first Willow Tree and appropriately is my new favorite one!
