MAPLEWOOD, Mo. – Thanks to Saint Louis Closet Co.’s giveback initiative, Closets for a Cause, a portion of their March profits will be going towards The Ollie
Hinkle Heart Foundation.
The money provided to this nonprofit will support its mission to strengthen and
empower families affected by congenital heart disease (CHD). They achieve this
by wrapping families in love, providing medical and mental health support, and
funding impactful and innovative technology to improve the outcomes of children
living with CHD.
“We are honored to collaborate with the Saint Louis Closet Co. to further our mission of strengthening and empowering families affected by congenital heart disease,” says OHHF Founder Jennifer Hinkle.
CHDs are the
number one congenital disability and the leading cause of infant death in the United
States. The money raised by Closet for a Cause will serve children and families
impacted by congenital heart disease by providing them access to free mental
health services and financial support and funding impactful technology that
will improve the outcomes for children with CHD.
OHHF started fundraising in 2013, following the death of the founders’ son, Ollie. They identify the needs of heart families and gaps in the care of the children with CHD and do all they can to meet those needs and fill those gaps. In 2020, OHHF created Ollie’s Branch. This program is an access point to mental health specialists that support heart families (including grandparents, siblings, and even the heart patient) through virtual therapy sessions offered at no cost to the recipient. By supporting mental wellness and extending the peace of mind of heart families and healthcare professionals, it can enable them to better cope with CHD and care for the child – helping to strengthen heart families and provide benefits for the entire care team.
By supporting the
wellness of nearly 4,000 heart families and caregivers every year, the Ollie
Hinkle Heart Foundation knows that the stress and challenges heart parents and
other caregivers face can have significant and lasting effects if not adequately
addressed. To learn more about OHHF, visit their website at https://www.theohhf.org/about/.
