Upstate New York Man Finds Balloon Asking For Prayer For Pittsburgh Boy Who Needs Heart

(AP) PITTSBURGH (AP) - An upstate New York man says his family has been praying for a Pittsburgh boy after finding a note attached to a balloon that says the child needs a new heart.

Chris Kormanyos is building a home in Messena, N.Y., near the Canadian border and about 400 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

He says a green balloon drifted down onto his driveway Saturday. A note attached read, "We love Zach, we want your prayers to bring him a new heart. Please send a prayer to Zach in Pittsburgh. Pass it on."

Nothing about the boy is known, other than his first name.

Kormanyos told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette he and his family have prayed for the boy. Kormanyos didn't immediately return a call from The Associated Press on Monday.

Reminds me of the time a balloon with a note attached landed in the yard of the restaurant my grandparents once owned. It was one of many sent by a group of 1st graders from Hilliard, Ohio. It traveled over 500 miles which isn't bad for a balloon. :)
