H.E.A.R.T. - Helping Ease Abuse-Related Trauma - is an auxiliary support group that raises funds to support client needs not traditionally funded by other sources.
Tax-deductible donations from H.E.A.R.T. members allow a rape victim to leave the clinic in new underwear and sweatpants, and help to ensure immediate shelter and clothing for a mother and child fleeing a violent home. Funds help children who need tutors, bus passes and computers so they may succeed in school.
This commitment may come in a variety of forms including giving a donation personally or perhaps from a family foundation; and/or getting donations from friends, family members, or employers. Donations are tax-deductible.
