You can help the American Heart Association. The American Heart Association has developed tactics and programs that will help prevent disability and death from these diseases. However, we need financial support to reach your community's hospitals, universities, schools, doctors offices, emergency medical systems, health departments, places of worship, grocery stores, media and workplaces. With your help we provide the education and resources to significantly reduce the number of deaths. You can help.
Every dollar can save a life.
When Nathan was born in 1997, his mother didn't even get to hold him. At four days old, Nathan received a pacemaker. At three months old, he was placed on a feeding tube because his heart was too weak to help in the digestive process. At six months old, Nathan required a catheter to help stabilize the pressure in his lungs. Still more surgeries followed, but what he needed most was a heart transplant.
