THE GREAT "MÉCÉNAT" FAMILY

ALL TOGETHER TO SAVE CHILDREN WITH HEART DEFECTS

all in service of a single goal: to save the life of children with heart conditions!

Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque operates on children in 11 surgical centers in France and 2 in Switzerland. The regional referents are all volunteers and take care of the foster families and the medical follow-up of the children. They are also supported by other volunteers in order to multiply fundraising actions, notably through the organization ofsolidarity events events and the development of the Schools of the Heart.

12 branches at the heart of the success of the association's mission!

In every region there is a referee, representing Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque, who manages the foster families, the arrival of the children and their journeys, medical and global. They keep us informed at all times about the evolution of the care and any difficulties encountered. 

Thank you to our referents whose role is is essential!

THE WINGS OF HUMANITARIANISM

Previous slide

On arrival in Paris, foster families, who often get up at dawn (the planes arrive early) are waiting, impatient and moved, for "their child". The journey has been long and sometimes trying, the child is tired, disoriented, fearful...

The conveyors, also tired, hand over children and luggage to the families. They took care of their little protégé, whose state of health was sometimes precarious, throughout the flight! They are the ones who experienced the separation and who were able to talk and give the parents confidence. THANK YOU to our friends and "associates" from the beginning: Aviations Sans Frontières, an exemplary association.
