Backpack Buddy

It’s My Heart supplies Backpack Buddies to those children who are required to wear a long term halter or monitor. Each Backpack is a cute animal backpack a child can wear on their back that will allow them to move around with more freedom. Please contact the Cardiac Childlife Specialist if you are in need of a Backpack Buddy.
