About Jessie's Heart Foundation
Jessie's Heart Foundation is a Colorado-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in memory of Jessica Renee to assist families of children with congenital heart defects. The organization focuses on easing non-medical financial burdens—such as transportation, lodging, meals and childcare—so parents can concentrate on their child’s care.
Jessie's Heart partners with pediatric cardiac programs (including Children's Hospital Colorado and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children) to identify families in need and deliver direct support, and maintains informational resources and a family-focused blog to share experiences and guidance.
