Mended Little Hearts of Fresno

Mended Little Hearts of Fresno Little Hearts Hold Big Hopes. A heartbeat. For many parents, hearing the heartbeat of their unborn child becomes their first, loving bond to that child.

Mended Little Hearts provides hope and support to children, families, and caregivers impacted by congenital heart defects in order to extend and improve quality of life. 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. Mended Little Hearts, a support program for parents of childre

n with heart defects and heart disease, is de
dicated to inspiring hope in those who care for the littlest heart patients of all. Mended Little Hearts offers resources and a caring support network as families find answers and move forward to find healing and hope. Partnering with hospitals to provide several programs, Mended Little Hearts connects families in crisis with other parents who have survived the shock of learning a child has a heart problem, navigated the maze of medical decisions and procedures, and mapped out a plan for the future:

Hospital Visiting: Accredited volunteers make on-site visits to parents whose children have been diagnosed with heart defects or are undergoing treatment. Outreach packets contain health information and brochures as well as entertaining items for the child. Internet and Telephone Visiting: Parents receive support by communicating with trained volunteers over the Internet or telephone. Group Meetings: Support groups help parents understand that they are not alone and that there is hope. Members listen, share their experiences, and discuss issues that impact the family. Social Events: Mended Little Hearts programs are encouraged to conduct social events to bring members together to celebrate a theme and offer camaraderie among members and supporters. To learn if there is a Mended Little Hearts group in your area, to request information on forming a group, or to discover other ways you can help, contact Mended Hearts, Inc. at 1-888-HEART99 or email us at [email protected].
