What is CHD?
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are life-threatening structural issues with the heart that are present at birth. CHD affects approximately 1 in 100 births. These defects vary dramatically in severity, with some being mild and requiring only periodic monitoring, while others are so severe they demand immediate, intensive treatment. Tragically, CHD is the leading cause of death from birth defects in infants, responsible for more deaths than any other birth defect.
Despite advances in medical care, many children with critical CHDs face an uncertain future. Some of these defects remain incurable, and even those who survive the early years often face lifelong health challenges and medical complications. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical, but the road to survival is often grueling, and long-term outcomes remain uncertain.
Our Impact
Montana Brave Hearts is devoted to empowering families and raising awareness about congenital heart defects (CHD). Through advocacy, education, and community support, we work to:
Give support to families with CHD
Support Families: We offer a Brave Beginnings travel care package, bereavement support, connections to the Montana heart community, and one-on-one support from a Montana heart mom for families navigating a new CHD diagnosis.
Raise Awareness: Increase public understanding of CHD through campaigns, events, and partnerships.
Fund life-changing research
Fund Research: Advocate for and contribute to groundbreaking medical research aimed at improving the lives of those with CHD.
Our mission is fueled by gratitude towards those who made the selfless choice to entrust their children to the hands of surgeons, propelling us forward in our quest to make a difference.
