A key distinguishing aspect of Heart 4 Heart is that we operate on the basis of fundraising for one specific child at a time assigned to us by Gift of Life International. Therefore, every dollar raised is directly used to provide surgery through Gift of Life International’s surgical missions to save one child at a time. We believe that promoting directness and eliminating anonymity renders enhanced personal responsibility and clarity of operations.

Heart 4 Heart is a student-run nonprofit organization driven by a mission to provide life- saving surgeries for children in various developing countries born with congenital heart defects.

The entirety of our proceeds goes to our partner organization, Gift of Life International (See below), which in turn facilitates the crucial surgical procedures that grant life to children in need.
 

 

We currently have chapters across in cities across Canada including Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal, Kingston, Ottawa, Dalhousie and Windsor.
