MAJJK Heart Family Foundation
Created by parents from the Phoenix Children’s CVICU community, MAJJK provides necessary relief and advocacy for pediatric heart patients and for the loved ones who stand by them.
Built by heart parents. Designed for every family that comes after us.
Inspired by Five kids. Five families. One hospital.
MAJJK was built by two parents who lived inside the Phoenix Children's CVICU. Some stays measured in months, others over a year. We saw firsthand how families fall apart under the weight of medical crisis, financial pressure, and a system that focuses on the child but too often leaves the parents behind.
One of those children passed away in September 2025. She is part of this foundation's story, and we carry her with us. MAJJK exists as a lifeline for every family still fighting that fight.
What Drives Us
The MAJJK Heart Family Foundation works directly with cardiac units to bridge the gaps that appear during long-term hospital stays. We make mental health support accessible for families, provide emergency financial relief to households under pressure, and fund the research and innovation that improves outcomes for kids born with congenital heart disease.
