What's This All About?
The mission of the Erika Kate Foundation is to help ease the emotional, spiritual and financial burdens borne by parents of children with life-threatening heart disease. We provide short-term assistance to families in the midst of medical crisis, working with social workers in pediatric heart centers nationwide to bridge the gap for those whose short-term needs exceed available resources.

Families We've Helped: EKF Fills in the Gap

Twin girls!
Four year old Zach and his parents, Liz and James, were ready to welcome
two baby girls into their family.
When Missy and Tori were born, the doctor’s realized that Missy had an
irregular heartbeat. Now, 9 years
later, Missy has just started 4th grade with her twin sister, but it
has been a difficult and unexpected journey for her whole family.
