Every hero needs a sidekick.
Helping support cardiac families in their moment of need.
Helping support cardiac families in their moment of need.
Our Mission
We are here to help ease the burden for the cardiac families because when your child is recovering from heart surgery, your focus should be on your heart hero’s recovery, not your parking expenses.
Through the generosity of our donors, we are able to provide parking passes free of charge to parents whose children are recovering from cardiac surgeries or have prolonged hospitalizations due to their cardiac conditions.
There are 44 beds on the Regenstein Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) at Ann & Robert H. Children’s Hospital of Chicago. The average length of stay in a pediatric cardiac intensive care unit like Lurie’s is 35 days. That is a lot of families in need of our support, which can only be achieved through the generosity of others like you!
