En cœur in numbers
Behind every number lies a story.
Every gift gives wings to ease their everyday life.
1 in 100 children is born with a congenital heart defect requiring medical attention.
It is the malformation that causes the most deaths at birth.
Heart defects in children are 80 times more common than cancer and 26 times more common than cystic fibrosis.
The Foundation helps an average of ONE family per day!
Services offered
When a child needs to receive medical care far from home, every kilometer becomes an added burden for their family. The En Cœur Foundation is there to help ease this weight by providing financial support for travel expenses.
Other public programs may also be able to help (CSSS, CLSC, Transportation–lodging). Our role is to complement these resources and support you in finding the assistance you need.
Together, we want to bring you a bit more lightness along the road to heart care. For more information, please contact the social worker responsible for your case.
