From Foster Care
to
First Home

Why is Our Mission Important?
Greetings!

Children in foster care typically experience 8 profound losses - continuity, safety, control, closure, trust, innocence, accountability and worth. Fast forward through the years, and imagine the emotions when they MUST leave foster care, still carrying some of these losses, and never having been adopted or successfully reunited with their families. At that moment, Hearts to Homes is there to help lift them up during their transition to independence. That's why your support of our mission is so important. It is life-changing!

56 Young Adults Assisted and Counting!
Did you know that nearly 80% of foster youth referred to us are women? Nearly half of those women leave foster care as parents themselves. Statistically, half of these young parents will lose their own children into foster care. As of our most recent census of our past Hearts to Homes' recipients, 100% of the young mothers we have assisted are still parenting their own children! What a blessing that is and proof that  Hearts to Homes  is necessary and helps changes lives!
Announcing Our Newest Partnership
Hearts to Homes is pleased to announce its first expansion of 2019! We will now be supporting young adults who are aging out of foster care from Abbott House located in Irvington, NY.  Abbott House  joins Cardinal McCloskey Community Services ,  Catholic Guardian Services ,  Rising Ground (including Edward Gould Services for Children and Families) and The New York Foundling as Hearts to Homes partners!

Open Bar: Open Hearts Success!
On January 15, 2019, our first Open Bar: Open Hearts event was a great success! The evening of amazing food and cocktails took place at Oceana restaurant in midtown Manhattan. This was truly the "happiest" of happy hours, as we raised almost $9,000 (enough to furnish 4.5 apartments!) to assist young adults who are aging out of foster care in our area.

A special thank you to Oceana and H2H Board member Paul McLaughlin whose contributions toward this event were many and mighty! Their ongoing support of our mission is deeply appreciated.
