Karen is a spirited nine-year-old who has faced the challenge of a congenital heart defect—specifically, a patent ductus arteriosus, a persistent opening between the two major blood vessels leading from the heart. 

Time is of the essence for patients like Karen, and it's here that the David Ortiz Children's Fund (DOCF) steps in. Karen was slated for catheterization, a crucial procedure to mend her little heart. Today, she is on the road to recovery, and the prognosis for her care is incredibly positive—all thanks to you.

Your constant support and dedication make it possible for the DOCF to extend a helping hand to children like Karen and their families. Without you, the path to the healthiest hearts would be a much more challenging journey. Together, we can continue to be the catalyst for transformative healthcare, creating a future where every child with heart disease or defects, regardless of their circumstances, can live a life filled with love, joy and good health.
