Where Holding Harts Proceeds are Going

Since launching, Holding Harts sent our very first donation checks for the month of February to The Heath Evans Foundation and the Lisa Ripp Foundation!  It was a small amount due to low sales but I know with every one's help we will be able to give more in the future!  Holding Harts was only able to give each organization $40.00; this doesn't sound like a lot but every little bit helps! 

To emphasize why Holding Harts is important I want to share an official letter from The Heath Evans Foundation explaining where Holding Harts proceeds are going! This month's donation will help with programming that supports the healing of children and families who have been victims of sexual abuse!  The letter below gives an example  of a mom who recently called The Heath Evans Foundation office asking for help for her teenage daughter who had been sexually abused by a family member. The mom revealed that she too had been sexually abused as a child but her parents didn't believe her and she never received the help that she needed! 

Far too many situations are exactly like this!  Children do not come forward because they are scared that no one will believe them. Children grow into adults, keeping the pain bottled up on the inside leaving their wounds untreated!  When there isn't a release of some kind the victim will always have a feeling of pain, agony, insecurity, distrust and is there something wrong with me! 

Now because of The Heath Evans Foundation and your support of Holding Harts, families like this will receive the help they need!  With your support of Holding Harts, we will be able to continue to help children and families heal through supporting expert counseling The Heath Evans Foundation provides. 

So please help spread the word about Holding Harts and what we are trying to accomplish.  Please help us help others by purchasing one of our fun Holding Harts designs!
