Our heart
No family should have to find their way alone.
When a child is diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, everything can feel unfamiliar. Baby Hearts Foundation is being created as a clear, compassionate place to begin.
This first chapter is simple: help families understand what CHD means, remind young people that their story is bigger than a diagnosis, and build a trusted home for the support still to come.
Feel seen

Find your people

Every heart
has a story
Understanding can make the unknown feel a little smaller.
Congenital heart defects are differences in the heart’s structure that are present at birth. Every child’s diagnosis, treatment, and path forward is unique.
As this site grows, it will become a welcoming library of family-friendly explanations, practical tools, and age-appropriate support.
For now
Start with the film above, write down your questions, and bring them to your child’s care team.
