My Nonprofit Reviews

I have the honor of being National Program Director for Mended Little Hearts and a volunteer with my local chapter, MLH of Central VA. I love the way this organization connects people and provides hope and support in some of their darkest hours. Mended Little Hearts has many amazing programs to raise awareness and educate families. Most of our services are free to hospitals and families, and our chapters are 100% volunteer-led. As a Heart Mom, this organization has made a very positive difference in my life.

I am the National Program Director for Mended Little Hearts, but more importantly, I am a mom of a 15-year-old with Double Outlet Right Ventricle who is a Fontan patient. Our journey started out very rocky and scary followed by many years of fairly smooth sailing, for which we are extremely grateful. Recently, we are dealing with some liver issues that sometimes keep me up at night. However, through organizations like Mended Little Hearts and Hearts Unite the Globe, we are connected to countless other families on a very similar journey. We are able to build each other up and support each other during some of our darkest times. Hearts Unite the Globe helps us tell our stories, educate others, and give hope. I am very thankful for Anna and for this charity.
