Open Heart Surgeries

In Honduras, 1 in every 100 children is born with a congenital heart defect, more than 70% are under five years old, and there are more than 20 types of heart malformations that affect them.

Changing Lives

Fundación María, together with Hospital María, works to change this reality through the Little Hearts program, providing specialized care and hope to hundreds of families. With the funds received through donations, the foundation purchases specialized medical equipment and surgical materials, and also covers lodging, transportation, and meals for volunteer doctors and international medical brigades who come to perform surgeries. In addition, if a piece of equipment breaks down or a surgical supply is missing, Fundación María takes immediate action to resolve the issue.

Responding Where It's Needed Most

The process begins with the medical team at Hospital María Pediatric Specialties, where six pediatric cardiologists receive patients from across the country.

They evaluate the most urgent cases, prioritize surgeries, and, when needed, request support from Fundación María to cover supplies, equipment, or procedures the hospital cannot provide.

In many cases, critically ill newborns arrive by ambulance from other hospitals, such as Hospital Escuela, requiring a swift and coordinated response.

United with Fundación María to Save Little Hearts

Little Hearts is the program driven by Fundación María with the purpose of strengthening the Heart Unit at Hospital María, Pediatric Specialties (HMEP). Through this initiative, we channel the solidarity of donors like you to provide life-saving heart surgeries for children with congenital heart defects, raise awareness about this condition, and help reduce the burden on the pediatric healthcare system.

Little Hearts: Our Signature Life-Saving Program — Keep The Beat

The goal is clear: no child should be left without treatment due to lack of resources. The funds raised go directly toward critical needs such as medical supplies, medications, the repair of essential equipment, and logistical support for medical brigades. Every contribution transforms a family’s fear into hope and restores the possibility of a healthy life to those invisible hearts waiting for a second chance. These are heartbeats full of life, hope, and dreams waiting to come true.

In Honduras, hundreds of children with heart conditions are still waiting for a chance to receive surgery. Medical brigades are essential to making these surgeries possible — they increase the hospital’s capacity, reduce wait times, and bring hope to those who need it most. With your donation, you can be part of that change and give a child the chance to keep beating.
