Care Packages

Saving Little Hearts provides surgery care packages to children undergoing open heart surgery. For 2010, our goal is to distribute over 5200 (100 per week) care packages this year to children across the United States. Care packages include many items such as long distance phone cards, disposable cameras, toys and coloring books, Ronnie the Raccoon, various heart defect literature for both children and parents, pens and journals, toiletries and other useful items.

If your child is about to undergo open heart surgery and you would like to request a surgery care package, please fill out our form here or contact us! The care package will be mailed directly to the hospital the day of your child's surgery after confirmation is made that the surgery date has not been changed. If the surgery date has been changed please let us know as soon as possible so we can make sure the package arrives when you are at the hospital.

If you or your school or organization would like to donate items for these packages, please download this form to distribute to your group or contact us! Some of the items needed for the care packages are: crayons, playing cards, non-melting snacks (gum, crackers, peanuts, sweet tarts, etc), word find puzzle books, phone cards, disposable cameras with flash, antibacterial lotion or hand wipes, and travel size toiletry items.

Also, we now have an option to sponsor a care package. If you are interested in sponsoring a package click here.
