Our mission is to offer support and hope to families affected by congenital heart defects through our support services and to promote public awareness for this #1 birth defect.

Newly diagnosed with a baby having a congenital heart defect? Looking to talk with another family who understands what you're going through? Let us help and put you in touch with other heart families today or join us on our email support group.

The photo to the left is a baby at 12 months of age born with a congenital heart defect (HLHS) after two open heart surgeries. The photo to the right is the same little boy 13 years later after a total of three open heart surgeries. He's just one hopeful story - we have many more to share with you.



Membership to Little Hearts is free to all families. If you would like to receive any of the support services we offer or be of support to other families, please send in a membership form.

Your tax deductible donation goes toward all of our support services - quarterly newsletters, picnic slideshows, online stories, email groups, parent matching program and more. Last year, we created an Outreach Program which doubled the amount of people visiting our site which provided them with support and hope. We rely on donations to make this website and our other support services possible. Please make a donation today - every little bit helps! We are tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The intention of this site is to give families a place to find information about our organization. We are not doctors nor do we have any medical training. In no way should this site be a substitute for professional medical care. Always check with your child's doctor if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child.
