Thank you for the kindness and generosity shown towards Healing Hearts throughout this year, and especially during the holiday season. Healing Hearts Child Advocacy Center’s mission is to respond to child abuse with a supportive team approach that reduces trauma through advocacy, treatment, education, and prevention. We provide comprehensive services to DeSoto and Tate County victims of child abuse and their families, including vital mental health counseling and family support. Our services help victims overcome the devastating effects of child abuse. All of us here are proud and privileged to be able to work at Healing Hearts Child Advocacy Center. That has never been more true than right now. Your continued support is what has helped to ensure our doors stay open for the vulnerable children who need us most – those who have been abused by the hands of those who are supposed to love them. Last year, Healing Hearts provided vital services of hope and healing to over 600 children and their families. Your ongoing support would mean so much to our organization, and more importantly, to the children and families in our community.

Thank you to Sam's Town Gambling Hall and Casino for giving Healing Hearts CAC the opportunity to participate in your annual Trees of Hope Contest.  We are excited to hear that your guests voted for our Candy Cane Courage tree.  Winning Third place and having an opportunity to bring awareness to the community about the services Healing Hearts CAC provides for child abuse victims is a great way to start our new year.

Thank you to Patti Hofer, Randy Brinsfield and Sele Williamson for promoting Healing Hearts CAC's Tyler's Closet needs among their co-workers at FedEx.  This group of FedEx employees gave 3 hours of their time to come and learn about what Healing Hearts CAC does to provide services for children in our community who are victims of abuse.  They also spent time at Tyler's Closet sorting and organizing clothes that will be used when CPS needs items for a child who they have removed from an unsafe home situation!  Thank you FedEx Cares employees for sharing your time and talent with the children in our community who need help!

Nazha Ismail organized a diaper drive to help us fill a much needed item at our DeSoto Tyler's Closet location.

Thanks to Nazha and her family, friends and classmates at NWCC Southaven Campus, Criminal Justice students we now have a good amount of diapers for Child Protection services staff to use for a child when they remove them from an unsafe home.  Thanks to all who contributed!

Thank you to the Maternal Child Nursing Class, RN Program at Northwest Community College in Senatobia for collecting items for Tyler's Closet.  Leslie Russell, Lauren Hill and Denise Bynum informed the students about the need for diapers and other items.  They donated lots of items that will help children removed from unsafe home situations by Child Protection Services. Thank you for your generosity!
