Dear Incredible Supporters,

Our hearts are bursting with gratitude and joy as we share the life-changing news: Roy Schneit, our beloved Lamp Surgeon, has successfully received a heart transplant at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital! After months of battling with unyielding courage, Roy is thriving, his spirit shining brighter than the countless lamps he’s restored over his 25-year career serving New York’s tristate area. This moment feels like a miracle, and we owe so much to the extraordinary team at Mount Sinai, whose expertise and bravery took on the immense challenge of Roy’s complex case with unparalleled dedication.

The team at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital didn’t just perform a transplant—they embraced a monumental task, navigating the intricacies of Roy’s condition with precision, compassion, and relentless commitment. Their world-class care, cutting-edge expertise, and willingness to tackle such a formidable challenge gave Roy this second chance at life. We are in awe of their skill and forever grateful for their heart.

Your signatures, heartfelt messages, and unwavering support have been the backbone of this journey. You’ve stood by Roy—devoted husband to Lois, loving father to Buffy, Myles, and Austin, cherished father-in-law to Maegan and Michael, and proud grandfather to Luke and Emma—lifting him up with hope and love. Every one of you has played a vital role in this triumph.

As Roy embarks on this new chapter, we ask for your continued thoughts for his recovery. We also invite you to join us in supporting the American Heart Association’s mission to save more lives like Roy’s.
