Story

We know that for families with children with half a heart that Every Christmas Matters.

There is currently no cure for single ventricle heart conditions and families live daily with the worries that come with that. As Jacobs mum Mel puts it,

Christmas is a time for spending time with families and friends, but when you have a child with half a heart, you have to put on a show for everyone, but just because its Christmas it doesnt mean the feelings go away.

Little Hearts Matter provides a blanket of comfort when they need it most to our members by providing them with access to professional advice and expertise as well as a network of families going through the same experiences. As Mel says,

people dont understand, the only people who understand are Little Hearts Matter and other parents of kids with half a heart. Id be lost without them, especially at Christmas.

Please give generously so we can be there for parents like Mel throughout the year, when they need us most.
