Heartling helps families whose children have undergone open heart surgery.
A child going through open heart surgery is a unique struggle for both the child and his family – especially his parents.
Heartling honors the milestone of the whole family after open heart surgery.
It does not only celebrate the survival of a young life; it heralds in the thriving of life, of lives. Heartling shows both children and parents that they can dream again.
