Kay's Mended Heart Needs Your Support!

I am a heart patient and a member of Mended Hearts and I have committed to helping advance the mission of the organization through this fundraising challenge. The Mended Hearts, Inc. has been inspiring hope and improving the lives of heart patients and their families for 70 years. This year we are striving to reach underserved communities to assure that our peer-to-peer support, education, and advocacy is available to everyone! 

Peer-to-peer support is so important. 8 Years ago after a heart attack, a flight in a helicopter to a trauma center, hours in a "cath" lab for heart stents, I still had to have open heart bypass surgery to survive. As I lay in the ICU recovering from surgery a wonderful Mended Hearts volunteer came into my room and gave me the hope I so desperately needed to know I could survive, I could live, and I could THRIVE after all of that! He had survived 25 years already! My world and my view of life changed forever that day. Now I volunteer and try to do the same for new heart patients. That is why I personally know why peer support is so important and why The Mended Hearts is the best organization I could belong to and spend my time volunteering.

Please consider helping us reach our goals and allow us the ability to bring the power of hope to so many! Any amount of donation is appreciated.
