DECEMBER 2023 CHARITY OF THE MONTH
In partnership with the Minnesota Wild, we are the sponsor of the Minnesota Wild Charity of the Month Program. Throughout the NHL season, we feature a new charity each month. This months selected charity is Children’s HeartLink!
About Children’s HeartLink
Children’s HeartLink saves children’s lives by transforming pediatric heart care in underserved parts of the world. They do this by improving heart care programs that serve children with congenital heart disease—a disease that an estimated 1.3 million babies are born with every year. Shockingly, 90% of these babies lack access to diagnosis, treatment or care that is readily available in the more medically advanced regions of the world.
This nonprofit pairs volunteers from hospitals like Mayo Clinic and Children’s Minnesota with pediatric heart care teams in underserved parts of the world. The goal: build sustainable heart care programs for children with congenital heart disease.
MISSION
Children’s HeartLink saves children’s lives by transforming pediatric heart care in underserved parts of the world.
VISION
Children around the world have access to high-quality heart care.
Mythili’s Story
Minnesotans and others around the world agree—and generously donate their time, talents and money to improve care for children like Mythili (My-tha-lee).
Her heart condition kept her on the sidelines for 12 years because surgery was not available where she lived. It kept her from playing, running or even going to school. Children’s HeartLink’s partnership with volunteers in Minnesota and a hospital in Coimbatore, India resulted in Mythili getting the lifesaving surgery she needed. She is thriving and alive today because of Children’s HeartLink.
Through training and education, pediatric heart care teams in countries like India, Brazil and Vietnam are getting stronger. It means more children like Mythili have care available where they live.
