We Exist To Help! We are serving both V.A.D. & Heart Transplant recipients as well as their Care Giver, families and loved ones.
We began our mission one V.A.D. at a time! Since 2019 we have been able to develop a facebook page and this website, we have been able to do monthly drawings for essential items needed for V.A.D. recipients. This has been with the generous support of Genki Garb and their amazing and affordable V.A.D. shirts, Stash Bandz and their incredible band to help secure the control unit and of course the generosity of our volunteer Administrators whom ensure that whatever needs to be done to help, is taken care of! A very special thank you to our incredible members within the medical community whom give of themselves daily! Thank you all so much!

The batteries fit snugly in the lower pockets and each pocket will securely keep your batteries in place with velcro straps. The short is made of durable, moisture wicking material that has the perfect amount of stretch to be worn underneath shorts, slacks, dress or skirt providing mobility and security without having to worry about carrying the batteries and a control unit in a bag.
