Our Mission
To provide lifesaving heart surgery to disadvantaged children from developing countries where specialized medical treatment is either scarce or nonexistent.
HeartGift Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that brings children from around the world for free surgery to correct life-threatening heart defects. They come for surgery because their home countries lack adequate health care. They leave with repaired hearts and a new sense of hope for the future.
One of every 100 children born in the developing world will never see his or her first birthday because of congenital heart disease, according to the International Children's Heart Foundation. Many children in developing nations who have congenital heart disease are never diagnosed, the foundation says, and never undergo life-saving surgery.
However, you can give the gift of life and help provide critical heart surgery for some of those children. Your relatively small gesture can make a very big difference.
