The Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund covers expenses for Arizona families of children with congenital heart disease that are often not paid for by many insurance policies. These expenses may include ambulance service, air evacuation, some prescription medications and travel and lodging for the family during heart surgeries that are not performed locally. We also believe that children suffering from congenital heart disease should go to camp too – just like their friends! That’s why each year we pay tuition and travel expenses for Arizona children to attend the Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Camp located in Prescott, AZ. The Nick & Kelly Children’s Heart Fund has sponsored 1600 camper experiences for the last 22 years.

Our Mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive in the communities that they’ve worked so hard to protect. For over fifteen years, we have provided programs that offer: RELIEF (through Critical Financial Assistance and transitional housing programs), RESILIENCY (through permanent housing and caregiver support services) and RECURRING FAMILY SUPPORT programs and services throughout the year that help military families overcome the short-term bumps in the road so they don’t become long-term chronic problems.
