How You Will Change A Life…

It costs just £600 to provide a heart child with a blood monitoring machine.

Many families cannot afford this but it is vital to improving a heart child's quality of life by reducing the frequency of distressing hospital visits.

Chloe Mack, who is 13 years old, received an INR Machine from the Childrens Heart Federation in May 2007. She says, "Having an INR machine has made life a lot easier as I do not have to go to the doctors all the time. I've watched the doctors doing the test loads of times so it was easy to learn how to do it myself". Chloe has also shown her machine to friends and tells us that is it now a lot easier to tell her friends about her condition.

Your sponsorship will go to children like Chloe, bringing long term and tangible benefit to heart children's lives.
