Help young children with heart diseases process their experiences

With ‘Heart Friends’, the Dutch Heart Foundation offers support to children living with heart disease and their parents. ‘Heart Friends’ has developed the TikkieRing to help young children process their experiences and more easily share their stories with their family, friends and other children. The tikkies (charms) on the ring are a reward for their courage, strength and perseverance. With our support, ‘Heart Friends’ can contribute to positively changing their lives.
