What We Do

At Sparkle Strong Foundation, we walk alongside families of children with congenital heart defects (CHD), offering comfort, connection, and practical support through some of life’s hardest moments.

We provide Sparkle Strong Survival Kits to inpatient families navigating long hospital stays, packed with care, comfort, and reminders that they are not alone. We also celebrate every CICU milestone with Magic Milestones and CICU Celebration packs curated for each moment. We offer guidance and tools for fundraising, and connect families with trusted resources, links, and other foundations that can help lighten their load.

Because we’ve lived this journey—as a heart warrior family, as a foster home, and as a single-parent household—we understand the unique struggles often overlooked. That’s why we’re passionate about supporting foster parents, who face complex medical systems with limited access or voice, and uplifting single parents, who need someone steady in their corner. We also center the often-silent stories of siblings, creating space and support so that no child fades into the background.

Sparkle Strong is about more than survival—it’s about building a community of care, where families feel comforted, informed and connected. Starting in Oklahoma and Dallas, our goal is to grow into a national network of hope, one family at a time.

Together, we can Sparkle Strong.
