Roman S. and his mother: As part of Heart to Heart's work
we interview mothers of children scheduled for open heart surgery. Their feelings
and insights add an important dimension to our clinical documentation.
Meet the Children
Every child has a story – and parents who have dreams for
their child's future. Some of these children saved by Heart to Heart in the past two
decades are now young adults, leading healthy, productive lives.
Take Masha S. as an example. She is the child whose dire
condition in 1989 inspired Heart to Heart's founders to envision our first
self-sustaining pediatric heart program in Russia. Today, Masha is a professional
interpreter and the proud mother of a healthy baby boy. Masha's sense of global
citizenship and her own commitment to shaping a better tomorrow have been profoundly
influenced by this act of kindness performed over twenty years ago.
Imagine 12,000 stories! In 2011, doctors trained by Heart to Heart
passed the milestone of having saved 12,000 children at our sponsored sites. Your support
will help us develop additional self-sustaining children's heart centers where thousands
more children can be saved.
