I'm so grateful to see that so many kind members of this community added their name to our card for kids facing heart conditions – and I wanted to make sure you had a chance to add your name to help reach our 5,000 supporter goal. 

As these kids wait for the day when their wish is granted, they’re struggling to make it through difficult days of illness, operations, and doctors appointments. We want to put together a card to share our compassion and let them know they’re not alone, but right now, we’re still short of the 5,000 signatures we’d hoped for. 

Just adding your name would mean so much to these brave kids – so please: Will you add your name to help us reach the 5,000 signature goal that will warm the hearts of kids struggling with heart conditions?

Subject: Send kindness to kids with heart conditions

Right now, many kids’ minds are excitedly fixed on their next snowball fight or their next big sleepover. But kids suffering from heart conditions aren’t so lucky – many are anxiously awaiting their next doctor's appointment or difficult treatments ahead. As a parent, it’s heartbreaking to think about the difficulties these kids are facing every day. 

But through these challenging days, one thing wish kids have to bring them strength and joy is the hope that their wish will be granted. And it’s up to us to offer the support and compassion they need to persevere as they wait for their wish. 

That’s why we’ve put together a very special card for kids with heart conditions this American Heart Month, and we’re hoping to fill it with signatures from 5,000 caring supporters like you by midnight tonight.

Please, will you take a moment to sign our card for kids dealing with heart conditions? This small act of kindness could mean everything to a child as they navigate these challenging times.

Thank you,
