Finished, quote. Well, sometimes you find the biggest hearts in a small community, and today Salem wears their hearts on their sleeves for their special local girls. The town is holding a parade by parade for 12-year-olds to receive a heart transplant. The community wants to provide support as there is no way to know when she will be on the waiting list. Hey. Hello. Things are pretty light here in Salem. I'll keep it out of the way and show you exactly what we work for. We have a Brinley wandering around on the boat with her friends. People are waves, beeps, and giving them all kinds of support. Throughout this day. You can see balloons over there, some posters. It's just the kids are having fun. Again, this is a really good example of one small town gathering together for a bigger, bigger purpose. Looking at 12-year-old Brinley Cannon, you may not know that she needs a new mind. And they said that until she was like 18, but her mind had other plans. She spent several months at Greenville Memorial and Mascon, losing her home every day and trying to run it if she saw an exit in the hospital. Yes, and this week I plan to meet her friends before she returns to Charleston this weekend. That's right, honey. Her name was placed on the waiting list for the children's hearts in Mascol Charleston. They said it takes up to six months to a year to be ready to stay. So you said, how are you? On a good Wednesday, friends, family and neighbors from Salem in Oconey County are driving and providing assistance to Brinley and her family. It breaks my heart. Her heart broke and my heart broke because I can't do anything about it. In other words, if I can give her my heart, it belongs to her. I'm saying goodbye. But for now, it's just goodbye. And Payton, this is certainly heartwarming to see this kind of support. What else can the community help? Jane? We asked the family about it. They told us, number one, they really need community prayers. If you were guided, guided and guided to pray for this 12-year-old girl, then the family wants you to do so. Another thing the town of Salem actually has a quick fried fish here. It will be June 7th. All proceeds go to family accommodation and medical expenses. If you are in the Salem area and you are here the next hour or so, consider stopping by. This is on East Main Street. You come and beep the horn and wish her a happy and healthy return soon.
South Carolina communities gather around a hopeful young heart transplant
Sometimes the biggest mind lies in the smallest community. On Wednesday, Salem, South Carolina, wore in its sleeves for one special child. The town held a drop-by parade for the 12-year-old's departure on Sunday to get a heart transplant.

Be prepared to stay,” said Salem and Oconey County families, families and neighbors who drove by Wednesday to provide support to Brinley and her family. Some gave money directly to help with medical expenses. “It breaks my heart. Her heart has broken because she can't do anything because she's broken, so my heart has broken.
