LOUISIANA

April Heideman is a Physical Therapist currently living in Louisiana with her husband, Paul, and her three children, Constance, Rhett and Prescott. She loves her job, her family, and above all, her Savior, Jesus Christ. From a young age, April has had a deep desire to help others. This is what led her to pursue a career in physical therapy. It affords her the ability to make a difference in the lives of others while still playing a very active role in her own family.
In 2011, April experienced her first miscarriage. Later that year, she would also experience her second and her third miscarriages. While this was an extremely trying time for both her and her husband, they decided to stop all treatment and put everything in the Lord's hands. In 2012, they were blessed to welcome their rainbow baby, Constance, into the world. At only 13 months old, Constance became a big sister to baby brother, Rhett, in 2013. Both were 5-6 weeks premature and spent roughly 2 weeks in NICU. During this time, April had numerous close friends and family to experience miscarriage, stillbirths, loss through SIDS, infertility, etc. Through her own experiences and the experiences of those close to her, April developed a strong passion for this grieving community. In early 2017, April would endure her fourth miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy.
While still grieving this loss, the opportunity to be a part of Eve's Victory was presented to her. She is both excited and honoured to have an opportunity to be a light during such a dark time, since the same light that has been shown to her.

Volunteer Coordinator
Queenie is from Louisiana and is married to her best friend, Whitney McCartney. Together they have two beautiful daughters, Maggie Belle and Audrey Pearl. Queenie has a degree in Physical Therapy, and is currently a practicing therapist in Winnsboro, LA. Queenie loves the blessings her career brings, spreading light to others and improving their lives daily with therapy.
After establishing their home and her career path, Queenie and Whitney welcomed their first daughter, Maggie Belle, in August of 2016. In 2018, the couple experienced their first miscarriage. In 2019, Queenie and Whitney endured multiple rounds of infertility procedures, which ultimately led to six failed IUIs. The couple started IVF in 2020 and their first attempt failed with medicine/shots and egg development. Queenie and her husband were given a 2% chance of getting one embryo. Several months later in 2021, they were successful with IVF and Audrey Pearl was born in January of 2022.
Having experienced the pain of miscarriage and failed fertility treatments, Queenie’s desire is for friends and families to receive love and support through their journeys. Whitney and Queenie know all too well how important encouragement and love can be during such a heartbreaking experience. Queenie hopes to bring hope and light to families and friends during times of brokenness through prayers and care packages with Eve’s Victory.
