Created by a CHD Parent Who Understands the Gaps in Support.

After our founders walked the Congenital Heart Disease journey with her own child, she experienced firsthand how quickly families are overwhelmed — emotionally, financially, and mentally.

 

Hospital stays, lost wages, medical equipment, food costs, and everyday bills don’t stop when your child is fighting for their life. Yet so many families are left to navigate these challenges alone.

 

Invisible Warriors was created to fill those gaps.

 

These programs were built from lived experiences — to provide real, tangible support so parents can focus on what matters most: being present for their child.

 

Below are the 7 core programs designed to support CHD families with compassion, dignity, and hope.

Congenital Heart Defects affects every 1 in 100 babies, with a new diagnosis every 15 minutes, in the U.S. alone - that's over 1 million worldwide. Sadly around 1 in 4  children with CHD don't survive. with your help, Invisible Warriors can provide essential support, resources, and comfort to families facing this journey. 

Family Meal Support Program

This program ensures families have access to nutritious meals while their child is in the hospital. It provides gift cards or meal deliveries so parents and caregivers don’t have to worry about when their next meal will come, allowing them to focus on supporting their child.
