Annual Donor"I grew up in foster care myself. Giving to Hearth feels personal — I know what a stable placement means to a child. The transparency reports they send quarterly show me exactly which programs my dollars fund.

Family Donor"Our kids wanted to do something meaningful with their birthday money this year. We chose Hearth because the impact calculator showed us exactly what $500 does — it keeps a sibling group together for a whole month. Our children were moved.

"The mentorship program funded by Hearth donors didn't just help me find housing — it helped me believe I deserved a future. My mentor showed up every single week for a year. I'm now studying social work so I can do the same for someone else.

"We were scared we'd be split up. The caseworker told us Hearth helped pay for a bigger placement home so we could all stay together. We share a room and we fight sometimes, but we're together. That's everything.

"When I took in two children on an emergency basis at 10pm on a Tuesday, Hearth had a supply kit at my door by 8am the next morning. Toothbrushes, pajamas, a stuffed animal. Those small things tell a child they are seen. Donors make that possible.
