ABOUT US

By purchasing our products you directly contribute to the cost of a surgery and saving a life as all our profits go directly to the foundation. We have chosen to support L’institut du Coeur as their outcome is so significant, one surgery and a child is given the opportunity to live normally. An open heart surgery costs on average USD$2000 and by purchasing our isotherm bags, you help provide this to an underprivileged child with heart defect.
