#ProjectTinyHearts Cardiac Surgery for Children

1 in every 40 deaths in children under 1 year of age is due to a heart defect, mostly because there is a worldwide shortage of cardiac surgeons.

I'm Bill Novick. I am a pediatric cardiac surgeon currently on my fourth trip to Ukraine since the war began. Since 1993, my team and I have operated on over 10,000 infants and children in 36 countries that are underserved and often completely forgotten. We travel to conflict areas and war-torn regions to save tiny hearts from otherwise life-threatening conditions, all funded with donations from people just like you.

I am here today asking you to contribute whatever you can to help the world's children. Even the smallest donation helps and can make a big difference. I am looking forward to keeping all of you on #ProjectTinyHearts updated along the way so you can see all the good your donations are doing. Thank you so much. If you’d like more information on how my team and I work, please stay tuned for a video of the upcoming documentary called Tiny Hearts or visit our website at Novick Cardiac Alliance.
