Mission: Harboring Hearts is a 501 (c)(3) public charity dedicated to providing housing assistance and other vital support for critically ill heart patients and families.
Results: For those we serve, lack of access to affordable housing and other essentials makes it even more difficult to face the challenges associated with undergoing a lifesaving cardiac procedure. The families we help are experiencing serious financial hardship and may be on the verge of bankruptcy or loss of housing due to the expenses associated with medical care. Many face difficult decisions about how to cover expenses for basic needs such as food, transportation, childcare and medication co-payments.
Direct beneficiaries per year: In 2020, we helped 301 families in need of housing, transportation, and food assistance.
Geographic areas served: The New York Tri-State Area
Programs: To assist members of the general public affected by cardiac issues and in need of cardiac surgery.
