Welcome! PDF Print E-mail

Welcome to our site!  We are a group of mothers and fathers who want to make a difference in the lives of our children who have been through numerous open heart surgeries, catheterizations, life support situations, and many other invasive procedures as we hold on to every word of hope that the doctors give us for our precious children.  We want to make the outlook for our children better through giving to research and providing the VERY best care for them.  We also want to provide wonderful memories and opportunities for our children to cherish.  We hope that this site will provide useful information for parents and be a resource of support.

For many parents, hearing the heartbeat of their unborn child becomes their first, loving bond to that child. It's no wonder, then, that discovering that their child has a heart defect, whether diagnosed in the womb, shortly after birth, or during childhood, can be devastating.  Sometimes during early pregnancy, a baby's heart fails to form properly, resulting in structural abnormalities known as Congenital Heart Defects. Although some defects are genetic, in many cases the cause is unknown.   Parents begin asking themselves:

  • Did I do something to cause this problem?
  • What will my child’s life be like if (s)he survives?
  • Will our marriage and family be strong enough to handle this outcome?
  • How do we make medical and financial decisions in the middle of this nightmare?

Our goal is to help families and the littlest heart patients of all through these most difficult times.  We hope to offer resources and a caring support network as families find answers and move forward to find healing and hope.
