Family to Family ♥ Heart to Heart
Jack of Hearts PA, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to supporting the families of pediatric cardiac patients in northeastern Pennsylvania, as well as supporting other local charities and congenital heart defect research.
Meet Jack
This charity was created by Donny and Lisa Scarfo of Scranton, PA, and was inspired by their eleven-year-old son Jack, who was prenatally diagnosed with a congenital heart defect. When Jack and his twin brother Nathan were born a decade ago, many of the resources we have today were not available or widespread, and the Scarfo family spent many years navigating unfamiliar territory in living life with a child with a heart defect. Their hope is that Jack of Hearts-PA, Inc. will help newly-diagnosed families bear that burden more easily, while connecting people in similar situations, and utilizing the resources they have become familiar with on this journey.
