What People Say About Us

My relationship with Brave Heart started 15 years ago when I lost a child to CHD. I felt my responsibility was to help others and minimize their suffering. Giving back to the community and helping families and children is fulfilling and an inherent part of altruism. CHD and childhood diseases is a cause close to my heart and helping is a responsibility."
Anonymous, mum of 3 kids Anonymous, mum of 3 kids
The least any person can do is support Brave Heart. To know that you are contributing to saving a child's life by giving them hope is a great thing… I think Brave Heart is doing a wonderful job, especially during these hard and difficult times. God be with you all."
Maha Merheb, mum of 2, grandma of 3 Maha Merheb, mum of 2, grandma of 3
My cousin suffered from CHD, and he is not the only one. Many underprivileged children are diagnosed with CHD and I would do what I can to help them. This is why I support Brave Heart. Helping save a child's life feels amazing; these children deserve to live happily. We should all be grateful and help whenever possible. Every little effort counts."
Yara Kamar, Bureau des Créateurs, PR & Mktg Associate Yara Kamar, Bureau des Créateurs, PR & Mktg Associate
Brave Heart's cause is so noble that it touches every human being on this planet. It simply feels great to contribute and save a life. Every penny counts because through Brave Heart we are giving hope and a second chance, and there is no cause nobler than the one that saves lives."
Asma Gholmieh, Loubnaniyoun NGO, Project Coordinator Asma Gholmieh, Loubnaniyoun NGO, Project Coordinator
Imagine, just imagine for one second that a doctor tells you that your child's life is in danger, but can be saved. Then imagine that you are not able to pay for your child’s life-saving surgery. This is where Brave Heart comes in. They will never allow a child to die because of a lack of funds. They will cover the surgery and give them that chance to live."
Leia Khalaf Rez, Leia K. - The Lucky Brand, Jewelry designer | Creative Director | Brave Heart Collaborator Leia Khalaf Rez, Leia K. - The Lucky Brand, Jewelry designer | Creative Director | Brave Heart Collaborator
In this day and age, it is inconceivable and unacceptable for a child to die because of financial barriers…as a responsible community; we should not allow it."
Nadine Labaki, Director | Actor Brave Heart Goodwill Ambassador since 2008 Nadine Labaki, Director | Actor Brave Heart Goodwill Ambassador since 2008
5 months have passed since my surgery and haven’t had the chance to thank you yet. Thank you for your support and help. Thank you for saving my life."
Zeinab Haiidar, BH Hero Zeinab Haiidar, BH Hero
Life before the surgery was kind of rough for me… I couldn’t run, and I would faint while playing and doing exercises. After my surgery, I began to feel pretty well and everything started becoming normal."
