What We Do

Harboring Hearts provides a haven for heart patients and their families while they are seeking medical care away from home. We offer solutions to financial and emotional problems often associated with a family member undergoing cardiac treatment. These problems include finding housing near a hospitalized patient, paying for the family to live in another city while a loved one undergoes treatment, providing emotional support to a heart patient, and accessing basic living needs.

Through community outreach programs and small grants, we have provided financial and emotional support to 200 families all over the country.

As Harboring Hearts grows, we hope to continue to alleviate the financial and emotional burdens often coupled with heart disease. We want to expand our positive impact on the cardiac community by providing comprehensive solutions for the well-being and health of heart patients and their families.

“We absolutely appreciate the gift we received today in the mail. I was able to use the funds to cover some of our heating expenses and also get the boys some warmer jackets. Thank you so much!”
