Dear Friends,
As many of you are aware, we are in the middle of running our Have a
Heart Donation Drive and thanks to the generosity of so many of you, we
have raised over $22,000.00, thus far. Although the funds we receive
will help us offer better services and resources, we still need your
help! We need people like you to offer your time, opinions and comments
to help us make this organization the best it can be. So, how can you
help?

make this
condition more prevalent among the medical community, insurance
companies and the public.
