My time spent at HHF was one of the most meaningful opportunities I have had in my professional and life experience to date. Please check out www.happyheartsfund.org to see what this remarkable organization does to help children around the world. I was with the organization not too long after it earned its incorporation status as 501.c3 non-profit organization, and since the time I left HHF to return to clinical work exclusively, the agency has grown on an exponential level and has made and continues to make an impact on a profoundly remarkable level. In order for others to know about this organization they are best to check out the website themselves and see how they can gain more knowledge and facts regarding its mission, vision, current projects and accomplishments, and also learn about how they too can support this wonderful and successful organization.
