providing support to children and young adults
whose lives have been affected by serious illness or loss
The Young Hearts Foundation was honored to be a winner of Southwest Airlines' "One Million Acts of Kindness - One Million Dollars of Thanks" contest. We have been gifting the awarded travel passes to seriously ill patients who would benefit from a visit from a loved one. After all, sometimes the best medicine is having loved ones nearby.
