When life breaks us open,
simple kindness is what sustains us.
There are moments in life when everything changes
in an instant. A diagnosis, an accident, a loss that
feels impossible to carry.
In those moments, Heartworks shows up.
This is the place where Heartworks’ story begins.
Look Inward, Give Outward.
THIS IS OUR GUIDING BELIEF
Heartworks is a local movement of women committed to replicating and sustaining the kindness and connection witnessed in the wake of September 11, 2001. Inspired by the healing that takes place through compassionate giving and receiving, we offer hope to local families experiencing acute illness, injury, or grief in the first 14 months.
This is an invitation to be a part of something that will change your life.
The Heartworks Story
The genuine energy of Heartworks can be felt in this video. Hear what Heartworkers, veterans, and families we have met are saying about the power of receiving from Heartworks.
“I have come to understand after over 20 years of Heartworks, that we all have the capabilities to be a Heartworker. All that is needed is a willingness to reflect upon our own vulnerabilities and the part we play in the bigger picture of our shared humanity.”
Heartworker, 12 years
