At Fundación Estrellita de Belén, we believe every child deserves a chance to live—and to live fully. We provide life-saving medical care, advocacy, and support for children with congenital heart disease, especially those in vulnerable communities like Venezuela and underserved Hispanic families in the U.S. Our mission is to heal hearts, restore hope, and raise awareness so that no child is left behind because of where they were born. Every heartbeat matters—and with your support, we can help them all keep beating strong.

Fundación Estrellita de Belén was born from a deeply personal place—my own journey as a congenital heart disease survivor. Years ago, a mother in Venezuela reached out to me through social media, desperate to save her child who had the same condition I had. Tragically, we couldn’t help in time. That heartbreaking loss became a turning point. With the help of a few friends and just $300, we launched the foundation with one goal: to make sure no other family would have to face this fight alone. Since then, we’ve helped countless children access life-saving care, and we continue to fight for every heartbeat, one child at a time.
