Mended Little Angels is a special program offered to parents and family members who have lost a child or loved one to a CHD. We realize that your needs are special and unique. We offer you to join us in our support group and events, but we also would like to extend an extra hand to you. In this program you can meet other heart families who are grieving too. You can share stories and support each other. Our accredited visitors have experienced a loss can comfort you. They have been through what you are dealing with.

We here at Mended Little Hearts hope that all of our heart families feel that there is a place for them. If you are a grieving family member or parent, please contact us and we can put you in touch with other families who have been where you are.

Tiny Angels

Tiny Angels rest your wings
sit with me for awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear….
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren’t here for very long….
Why is it, you couldn’t stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
“These things I do not know….
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so”.

We are starting a new project - Heart Angel Memory Box. 

For parents who are grieving the loss of a child, there are no words to relieve the tremendous heartache and pain they feel. Mended Little Hearts of Chicago is creating ways of remembrance by commemorating a child's life by treasuring their most precious memories and keepsakes with a Heart Angel Memory Box.
