The Have A Heart? Foundation was established on the behalf of Patrick Salem, a patient suffering from Congestive Heart
Failure (CHF) for over 4 years. The first event held by the foundation occurred on July 20, 2008 to raise money to help Patrick
with his medical bills. Due to his severe progression of the illness, Patrick underwent the first of two open heart surgeries.
The first surgery was to place a heart pump inside his heart, to assist the heart in pumping blood throughout his body, consequently
keeping him alive until transplantation. The second surgery was Patrick’s heart transplant that was successful!
Patrick has a new heart, and he is moving on with his life! The Foundation was able to assist him by through our events
and we were able to provide over $12,000 on his behalf.
The Have A Heart? Foundation is committed and dedicated
to assisting patients in financial need, whether it be due to lack of medical insurance, lack of financial resources, unavailability
to Medicare or Medicaid and any other circumstance or situation preventing the patient from adequately handling the financial
responsibilities associated with hospitalization and medical care.
The foundation is a non-profit organization
that is comprised of a board of directors that collaborate with one another in the decision making process. All board
and committee members have an equal voice and an equal vote.

Mission Statement
Our mission, as we envision it, is to provide patients with the partial
relief of a major financial challenge in a time of their lives that when they are stricken with vulnerability, weakness, health
challenges and a confluence of factors that is out of their control at the current moment in their lives. Our values
include maintaining a higher standard of excellence, operating with full transparency, and working conscientiously toward
solely benefiting the patient. We are devoted to holding fundraising events in order to assist patients that are waiting
for a transplant or have completed one.
