Organized by Hearts to Homes Furnishings, Inc.
Inspire Confidence. Security. Hope.
May is National Foster Care Month, and Hearts to Homes is celebrating with a goal to facilitate more new beginnings for young adults aging out of foster care. At Hearts to Homes, our core mission is to empower individuals aging out of foster care by transforming empty living spaces into a place they can call home.
Our goal is to raise $40,000 in the month of May - with our Board matching the first $15,000 donated. With your past support, we have already provided household furnishings to over 650 individuals beginning their journey to independence. More importantly, we have inspired confidence, security and hope for a promising future. Yet, there are so many more young people who need our help!
Your support of Hearts to Homes is especially important this month, as we strive to reach our goal of supporting nearly twenty young adults who will age out of the foster care system in the next few months. We can’t do this without you.
During National Foster Care Month, we are reminded of our own beginnings at Hearts to Homes and how far we’ve come with your support:
• We started our journey supporting young adults in Westchester, Manhattan and the Bronx. Eight years later, we serve foster youth in all of New York City and four additional counties.
• We initially partnered with one agency. Now, twenty-seven agencies send referrals to Hearts to Homes.
• In our first year, we provided home furnishings for six young adults aging out of foster care. Last year, we had requests from 150 young people. Already, eight months in our current fiscal year, we have assisted more individuals than all of last year!
• When we began this mission, our referral criteria limited support to foster youth who had graduated high school or completed their GED. Because of the generosity of our donors, we are now accepting referrals for those with diplomas, GED progress, or employment regardless of educational background.
We hope you feel as we do, that this journey, and your part in it, is worth celebrating!
Let's keep building futures, and inspire confidence, security, and hope for these young people in need!
