We are excited to announce that Mended Little Hearts, a nationwide support group for families of children affected by CHD is forming a group in the Rio Grande Valley.
When a child is diagnosed with a congenital heart defect/disease, caregivers may think hope is lost. Often they feel very alone.
Mended Little Hearts is a pediatric support program dedicated to inspiring hope in those who care for the littlest heart patients of all. The core goal is to connect families in crisis with others who have survived the shock of learning a child has a heart defect/heart disease, navigated the maze of medical decisions and procedures, and mapped out a plan for the future.
Purpose of Mended Little Hearts:
• Offer support to family members and other caregivers of children affected with heart defects/heart disease
• Offer educational/health resources relating to heart defects/heart disease and well-being
• Raise awareness in the community about children and heart defects/heart disease and factors that may contribute to this disease
