When most parents and caregivers are told about their child's heart defect, they are devastated. Even if they have family and friends to talk to, they often feel very alone and that no one really understands what they are going through. Helping Hands, Healing Hearts is offering parent matching to help connect people and provide them with support from families who have been in similar situations. Through our parent-matching program, we match parents and caregivers to others in their area who have children with heart defects. We also match parents and caregivers to families who have children with similar defects or children of a similar age. And finally, we match adults with heart defects to other adults with similar defects. Hopefully, through parent-matching people can connect, share ideas, and give each other needed support. If you would like to be connected to another family on the national level, be sure to also sign up with Mended Little Hearts online.
