  • We've been there, we're here to help.

    If someone you know has just learned that they or their child has a heart defect or congenital heart disease (CHD) please fill out the form below to receive a free Conquering CHD Kit. These care packages were designed by families who have been in your shoes. We are parents of children with CHD and CHD patients working together to help families cope with CHD diagnoses. Our goal is to provide comfort, support and guidance. We hope to help you become “CHD Wise” and we want you to know, you are not alone. A huge network of families is right here for you and we want to help.
