What is The Oasis?

The role of a present father is physically and emotionally demanding and sometimes can even seem overwhelming. Now, introduce a child with a congenital heart defect. As the pressure to provide increases, stress levels also increase in correlation. This is where The Oasis steps in to help. 

The Oasis is an online social support community for dads who enjoy playing video games, who parent to a child with CHD. Whether it be the need to chat and discuss options or obstacles you and your family are facing with others who have been through similar situations, or simply wanting a distraction to help clear your mind, The Oasis provides the online community for dads to connect with each other.

Community

The idea was spawned by our co-founder Sam who has a passion for video games and wanted to connect with other dads who support a child with CHD.

Not everyone you may interact with outside of this group fully understands the challenges that each day may bring with complex medical care. We aim to be that breath of fresh air, with members who ‘just get it.’
