Little Hearts

Stories of Hope

Are you expecting or have a baby that has been newly diagnosed with a congenital heart defect? Here are stories of hope submitted by members we'd like to share with you.  It is our intention that they offer hope, inspiration and support to those who view them. 

If you see only a few stories for the heart defect you're looking for, it's because only a few members sent in their story.  For some families, it’s not easy to talk about their heart child’s story while others are so busy and just don’t have the time.

If you read a story and would like to connect with that member or are a member and would like to submit yours, feel free to email us.
