Our Mission

The mission of Heartfelt Help Foundation (HHF) is to help financially challenged heart transplant recipients in Northern California pay transplant related expenses not covered by insurance.  HHF performs its mission to help ensure them equity in healthcare and equal access to essential products and services despite their financial limitations.

HHF also mentors heart transplant patients to help them maximize the gift of life they received and educates the public about organ donation and transplant.

One of our successes:

“Heartfelt Help Foundation has been a pillar of strength for [the hospital’s] Pediatric Heart Transplant Program.  It has fundamentally changed lives when it comes to supportive housing and other essential resources such as travel/transportation, childcare, and financial assistance. HHF intimately understands the challenges of the heart transplant journey and accompanies families along the way with generosity and compassion. We are so grateful to call them our partners and collaborators!”
