Zachary's Mission - (724) 832-2207

Zachary's Mission, a non- profit organization, supports families of medically fragile children in the Pittsburgh region.

Zachary Hunter Vince was born June 13th 2008 with big green eyes, chubby cheeks and a congenital heart defect. Each day was a different challenge with little relief from the emotional and physical toll that was mounting. As our son clung to life…we clung to hope, prayer and the support that surrounded us. Despite countless prayers and the best care provided, we lost Zachary on June 28th, 2008.

Although Zachary was with us for a short while, we will always consider him our greatest gift and he will live on with us through Zachary’s Mission and our commitment to support these families.

Zachary’s parents helped families with the immediate needs that occurred during their child’s hospital stay. Many of the requests were specific and they were happy to deliver gift cards for gas or groceries, Christmas and birthday gifts or money for bills. The Vince family understands what it is like to have a sick child and to not know what will happen minute to minute. They want their gifts to bring comfort and hope to families at a very difficult time.

We work with doctors, nurses, social workers and patient care coordinators to identify families with a need.
