| PARENT MATCHING: Perhaps you have been recently diagnosed in utero with your baby having a congenital heart defect, or your newborn has been recently diagnosed with having a CHD. Would you like to talk to another parent? Little Hearts can connect you with other parents who have a child with a similar diagnosis or who may live near you.
Print off our membership form and check off "find me a match". While you wait for your matches, feel free to contact us and we'll get you in touch with someone today.
PARENTS HELPING PARENTS: Has your child had the surgery to correct a heart defect? Are you looking to offer support to another heart parent? As a member of Little Hearts, you can help other parents who would benefit from your child's story and your experience.
Looking to be part of our Parent Matching Program? When you complete our membership form, make sure you check off "give out my name" and sign the form. Once we have your permission, we give your contact information (email address or phone number) to parents looking to talk with another heart parent.
If at any time you choose to no longer participate in our Parent Matching Program, email us and we'll make the change on our end. It's as easy as that!
EMAIL SUPPORT GROUP: For those members that are online, we offer several email groups. We provide online news articles, resources and updates on upcoming projects and events through our NEWS email group. For those members looking for or to offer support, we provide a SUPPORT email group.

NEWSLETTER: We publish a newsletter four times a year - January, April, July and October. It is mailed out to members and can also be read online. The links to previous newsletters are listed on the left hand side of this page.
YEARLY PHOTO CALENDAR: Every year in our October newsletter, we invite members to send in a photo of their heart child for our yearly calendar. The photos of their kids are placed on the month in which they were born and underneath their photo is the year that they were born, their first name and their diagnosis. A great keepsake and an excellent way in sharing the hope with other families! They are also available for purchase throughout the year by going to our PRODUCTS page.
MEETINGS: Rather than waiting a month for a scheduled meeting, why not contact a member that lives nearby and talk with or meet another parent in a few days! Use our PARENT MATCHING PROGRAM and get in touch with families in the same town as you.
We have a large network of families throughout the USA who we can put you in touch with. There's no need to wait for a scheduled meeting when you can meet a member through our organization.
Previously, we provided meetings in various states, but have found that the busy schedule of many parents made it difficult for them to attend. We've found that our networking works best.
Contact us today and we'll put you in touch with a family the next day!
AWARENESS PRODUCTS: We have wristbands, license plate holders, window clings, t-shirts, hats, sports bottles, lapel pins, buttons, stickers and more for those looking to bring awareness to the #1 birth defect. Please visit our PRODUCTS page for more information!
