Kimberly Kaufman ‘92
Founder, Angels for Hearts

Nonprofit

After graduating college from SDSU with a BA in Political Science and minor in Real Estate finance; I went onto work as a Commercial Escrow Officer. In 2004 my world changed due to getting the flu, which got into my blood stream which left me with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). I was fast tracked for a heart transplant. Then two years later removed from the list. I truly believe not getting a new heart was a blessing in disguise. Because it lead to creating project Angels for Hearts, which in 2 years became a 501(c)(3) non profit. Angels for Hearts was a way I could I help someone else when the doctors couldn’t help me. We are a one of a kind non profit helping heart kids that have never been helped before.
