Messages from our Generous HeartKid Community - To all who have donated towards the Christmas Appeal - Thank You!

"We have a Heart Kid too and know how it feels to spend long periods of time in hospital. A few years ago we received a basket as we were in over the Christmas period. It means a lot to receive it." - Jane

"Jacob is our ZipperKid. He was born with TGA and operated on Day 4 of his life. We understand the hard process you are going through, and hope this makes it a little easier.

These HeartKids are strong! We were in Hospital during November, and lucky enough to be home for Christmas. We wish you all the best during your stay, and a speedy recovery to your special little person." - Matt

"For all those precious ones with mighty hearts who need a little extra, love, care and protection." - Nathan
