If you are a parent facing the diagnosis of a child with a heart defect, know that you are not alone and that there is hope in the midst of this crisis. However, even well-meaning family and friends and compassionate medical staff may not be able to offer you the strength and comfort you need. Our primary purpose is to provide support for parents/family/friends of children with heart defects and heart disease. No one knows what you are going through more than someone who’s already been there. If you need someone to talk to DO NOT hesitate to contact one of us (listed below). Whether your child has been diagnosed in the womb, shortly after birth, or during childhood we’re here for you*. If you find yourself in a hospital due to a child with a heart condition, we’re here for that too.* We’ve been there, done that, heck, we even got t-shirts! Let us know how we can help, whether you need someone to visit you or you have a need to “vent”, cry, or just talk. But most of all, know that you are not alone!
*Please note, we cannot provide you with any medical advice; but we will support decisions made between you and your doctor. We will ALWAYS respect your privacy.
**Please be mindful of the times of availability when contacting us by phone. Thank you for understanding that we are “regular” people like anyone else (though we have outstanding kids!) |
