DSG is pleased to provide this amazing video as a resource for families who are preparing for heart surgery. We recognize this can be a stressful and trying time and hope you will find comfort in watching the video. If you find this video helpful, we ask that you consider making a donation to the DSG to help offset the costs associated with keeping this video online and available to families in need.

DSG will gladly match your family with another family who has experienced heart surgery should you have any questions or support needs. We will also visit you in the hospital and provide a meal voucher stipend to help you cover the cost of meals while you are in the hospital. Please contact our office at 913-384-4848 or info@kcdsg.org if you would like to request a parent to parent match or meal voucher.
