Donate

HHF and the adult and pediatric patients who we support greatly appreciate any and every contribution!  Please note that our system allows automated recurring donations which are especially helpful because patients in distress come to us all throughout the year.  We’d love to speak with you, thank you personally, and tell you even more about who we benefit, what we do, and how we do it.  Please reach out!

Everyone at HHF volunteers and we carefully control our few and small expenses.  We are fully inclusive and enthusiastically serve a broadly diverse population where financial and medical needs collide.  Our only qualifiers are lack of insurance coverage for the required recovery housing and need for financial help to pay for it.

We directly support our beneficiaries without the inefficiencies of middlemen.  We only pay directly to established businesses and only after negotiating price discounts.

Contributions are used only to support our mission and are tax deductible.  You will receive a receipt as required.

But Wait, There’s More! 

Cytokinetics, a biotech firm in the San Francisco area, provided funding for HHF to start a new program. Now, HHF can help heart recipients pay expenses of daily living that are essential and unaffordable because of some situation related to their transplant.

For example, some patients or parents of pediatric patients are unable to return to work as soon or as fully as expected and, therefore, become unable to pay for residential rent, lease, or mortgage, utilities, medications, medical insurance premium, deductible/copayment to receive care, critical car repair, travel back to their transplant center for outpatient care, or even groceries.  Like our lodging program, support payments will be made only to established businesses, not to patients themselves.

We named this new program “Axel’s Helping Hand” in honor of a child who we dearly wanted to help into his second chance at life, but he was unable to return home after a heart transplant and 600 days in the hospital.

Your donations will support both our lodging and our expenses programs.
