Our Mission

The mission of Heartfelt Help Foundation (HHF) is to help financially-challenged heart transplant patients in Northern California pay medically-required, transplant-related expenses which are not covered by insurance.

HHF performs this mission for patients to more quickly qualify for life-saving surgery, begin their second chance at life without crippling debt, and have safe, clean, tailored housing to facilitate reliable and timely recovery.

HHF mentors heart transplant patients to help with physical and emotional stress of their condition and help them make the best of their required life changes to maximize the gift of life they received, and will educate the public about organ donation and transplant.

Are you a transplant candidate or recipient we can assist? Looking to get involved with Heartfelt Help? Want to learn more? Feel free to contact us!

If you’d like to support Heartfelt Help, please consider making a donation. 100% of all donations directly support transplant recipients’ organ eligibility and post-transplant housing expenses.
