OUR MISSION AT HEART
OUR HEARTS MISSION
The mission at our hearts is to make sure that no child affected by addiction goes without. Kids in foster care of CPS custody should not be made to feel less than because of their parents’ transgressions.
CULTURE OF GIVING BACK
We can never stop the empty feeling a child may feel when they are taken away from their parents, but we can support them mentally, emotionally, and physically. We believe that, as Americans, this is our duty and is being grossly mismanaged. We challenge you to be better to create a culture of giving back.
UPCOMING PROJECTS
Ongoing
Please keep checking back for updates on all our progress
We strive to create and maintain an effective learning environment by establishing behavioral supports through empowerment, networking, and the implementation of basic financial knowledge. It is imperative that people coming out of prison or treatment centers have hope and are taught how to be productive members of society. Things like building credit, starting a business, and buying a home are all things that need to be tangible to people who already have the odds stacked against them. Let’s change recidivism rates, truly rehabilitate, and STOP warehousing people in this country! Minds can be molded, dreams can be built, and all while creating a culture of giving back.We also strive to create and maintain an effective learning environment by establishing behavioral supports through empowerment, networking, and the implementation of basic financial knowledge.
