Little Hearts, Inc. is a non-profit organization founded in January 1998. We provide support, resources, networking, and hope to families affected by congenital heart defects. Membership consists of families nationwide who have or are expecting a child with a congenital heart defect.

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 them.

The photo to the left is a baby at 12 months of age after two open heart surgeries. The photo to the right is the same little boy 11 years later after a total of three open heart surgeries. He's just one hopeful story - we have many more to share with you.
