There’s something truly special about someone who can capture the raw beauty, love, and emotion that surrounds every HeartGift child and their family—and photographer Jama Pantel in Austin does it effortlessly.

Most people don’t have the opportunity to see the impact of HeartGift up close, but through Jama’s lens, those moments are shared with the world. From social media to our website and beyond, her images bring our mission to life, allowing others to feel the joy, strength, and transformation that happens every day.

Jama … your creativity and eye for storytelling help us share the heart of HeartGift in the most powerful way. We’re endlessly grateful for the magic you create and the way you help these stories live on! 💙

Every gift generously given to HeartGift makes a child’s next birthday possible. But DID YOU KNOW your employer may match your donation - doubling your impact without costing you an extra cent?

That means your gift could help save two lives instead of one, giving two families the priceless gift of a future.

Check your company’s match at the donate link in our bio or at heartgift.org/donate

Give. Match. Save a life.

Ariana’s newly mended heart is treating her well … and you can see it in that smile of hers.

Her bright spirit, along with her new favorite stuffed animal, helped carry her through this tough journey. Now, her new and healthier story is just beginning.

She touched the hearts of every person she met in the hospital, making goodbyes truly bittersweet. We may leave a lasting impact on these children, but we often don’t realize the incredible impact they leave on all of us.

There’s something so special about watching a young girl face something so difficult and still leave a trail of positivity behind her.

It has been an honor for HeartGift and our supporters to be part of your story, Ariana. We can’t wait for you to show off that healthy heart back home in Honduras!

Surgery day! ❤️‍🩹

Thiago began his day with smiles and excitement, ready to mend the hole in his heart. The two-year-old from Honduras had a smile that said, “No more ASD!” His joy really shone when he saw the toy police car waiting for him. Who knew one of the biggest days of his life could also be such a blast? 🚓

It has been such a gift to witness his strength and bravery, which is clearly genetic after meeting his mother. We are so thankful to everyone who played a part in saving Thiago’s life. We are excited for the remainder of his healing journey! ❤️🎁

This past holiday season, we were honored to partner with Giving Machine Austin. Every “purchase” out of the vending machine meant something more—life-saving heart surgery, essential medical care, and travel support. To everyone who gave: thank you. Your generosity turned simple moments into life-changing impact, helping children live fuller, healthier lives.

Thank you to the Giving Machine Austin, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Texas Giving Machine! The season of giving took on a whole new meaning as generosity turned into real impact. Because of your support, children with congenital heart defects are receiving the care they need and the chance to live fuller, healthier lives. ❤️
