Student-Founded

Built from Courage.
Built for Children.

Heart & Hope Project was founded by a high school student in West Palm Beach, Florida, driven by his own journey with chronic illness and a deep desire to become a cardiologist. Knowing what it feels like to face uncertainty in a hospital room, he created something tangible: comfort kits and heart health education for children who need it most.

Comfort Kits

Handcrafted kits delivered to children in cardiac ICUs and hospitals dealing with long-term or unexplained illness.

Heart Heroes

Age-appropriate heart health education outreach at elementary schools, empowering kids to understand and care for their hearts.
