Helping financially-challenged heart transplant recipients in Northern California into temporary recovery housing that facilitates their healing

Helping financially challenged heart transplant recipients in Northern California into temporary recovery housing that facilitates their healing Heartfelt Help Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public-benefit direct-service organization that helps people find and pay for temporary housing near the hospital that is clean, safe, private, and individualized to facilitate recovery when their doctors require them to live nearby for weeks or months until stable enough to return home, but insurance doesn’t cover it and they can’t afford it. HHF helps ensure that people of modest means have the same quality in and the same access to healthcare as others with larger resources.

Transforming the Lives of Patients & Their Families

“Our dad’s social worker recommended we connect with Denise and the Heartfelt Help Foundation for possible assistance with post-surgery costs. To our amazement, the Heartfelt Help Foundation has not only provided financial relief, but they provided emotional support as well. Denise has provided our family comfort and reassurance during one of the most difficult times of our lives. Although words cannot express our gratitude, we hope the Heartfelt Help Foundation knows we appreciate their generous and genuine support. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“What would someone do at the height of stress over a serious medical condition?
Wilbert had a bad heart and was very sick. We asked GOD for help. Our prayers were heard. For HE sent his angels on “persona” to help us. Medical staff, doctors, surgeons from Kaiser and Stanford Hospitals who are all specialized in cardiology got involved to help Wilbert’s heart condition.

He now has a new and healthy heart!️ We thank everyone. These Angels God sent for this miraculous healing, not just medical staff but also people who were with us at this time of healing. We thank Ms.Denise Redeker and The Heartfelt Help Foundation for being there not just for moral but also financial support, who sponsored our place to stay near the hospital for follow-up appointments and rehabilitation after heart transplant. Denise became a part of the family, whom we can reach for any questions and around for us . Thank You!!!

The Heartfelt Help Foundation’s heartfelt dedication and help to each and everyone in need makes a difference in everyone’s life they touched, like ours. More power to Ms. Denise and The Heartfelt Help Foundation!”
