MASSENA (AP) -- An upstate New York man says his family has prayed for a Pittsburgh boy after finding a note attached to a balloon that says the boy needs a new heart.
Chris Kormanyos says a green balloon drifted onto his property in Massena, N.Y. on Saturday. An attached note said, "We love Zach, we want your prayers to bring him a new heart. Please send a prayer to Zach in Pittsburgh. Pass it on."
Oddly enough, Kormanyos says a boy named Zach whose father was working on the property found the balloon. Kormanyos' property is near the Canadian border, about 400 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Kormanyos told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette he and his family prayed for the Pittsburgh boy at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. Kormanyos didn't immediately return a call from The Associated Press on Monday.
