Mission Statement
Jeffrey Has Heart is a nonprofit organization that exists to provide financial assistance and pre-surgical experiences for teens with congenital heart disease and their families.
About This Cause
Jeffrey Has Heart was founded by 16-year-old Jeffrey Kelley, following his open heart surgery for a congenital defect. Jeffrey received so much support from his community that he decided to extend the same generosity to other teens. Jeffrey plans to use the contacts he made during his time preparing for surgery and immediately after to assist other teenagers and their families. He knows how expensive it can be for a family to stay near the hospital when their teen is in for a procedure. He also knows well how stressful it can be for a young person to prepare for a life-changing surgery. Jeffrey wants to help in two ways: first, he wants to provide financial assistance for the non-medical expenses that families incur when a teen is in the hospital. Second, Jeffrey wants to provide fun things for teens to do while they are preparing for surgery, events that are tailored to the interests and abilities of the particular young person. By providing these services to teens with congenital heart disease and their families, Jeffrey hopes to ease the burden of a significant and stressful time in their lives.
