A Heartfelt Thank You — and an Important Update
After years of walking alongside advanced heart failure patients across Arizona, The Terrence Pickrel Heart Fund will be winding down operations. We are no longer accepting donations or applications for assistance at this time.
To everyone who gave, volunteered, shared our mission, or simply cheered us on: thank you. Your generosity made it possible to ease the burden for families facing some of the hardest days of their lives. Every grant we’ve provided — and every grant still to come — exists because of you.
With deep gratitude,
The Terrence Pickrel Heart Fund Team
To provide critical financial support to low-income heart transplant & LVAD
patients receiving care in Arizona
and to promote heart health through community outreach.
To relieve financial distress caused by heart-related illness and to promote heart-health awareness.
A WORD FROM ONE OF OUR GRANT RECIPIENTS
The Terrence Pickrel Heart Fund gave me hope when I was hopeless and strength when I was weak . . .
Well, being diagnosed with heart failure was not shocking — it was freaking unbelievable. I was an extremely fit 59-year-old man. I worked out on a regular basis. So, suddenly to be told that you have heart failure. My first cardiologist told me I had six months to live. I was in complete denial. I did not want to believe it. . . Watch the video
This organization made it possible for me to concentrate on healing and recovering, not stressing about money during this extremely difficult time. I was able to concentrate on me and not bills or other life matters because of them. Thank you!!

"I am writing this testimonial to let everyone know how outstanding and caring Ms. Kathleen Pickrel has been for me. I went to her with this problem of being short on my co-pay with my medicine because I lost my Plan B coverage with Medicare. I’m a heart transplant. As you know, as a transplant, I could die without my meds. God bless Ms. Pickrel and the Foundation/Fund. She is a shining example of what God wants all of us to be. "
