Big Hearts Day Habilitation Center

Help Us Keep Big Hearts Moving! 🚐❤️

This North Texas Giving Day, Big Hearts Day Habilitation Center has a BIG goal: to raise funds toward the purchase of a 15-passenger van.

Why Do We Need a 15-Passenger Van?

At Big Hearts, some of the most meaningful learning experiences happen outside the walls of our center. Community outings are an important part of helping the adults we serve develop independence, practice social and life skills, build confidence, and experience a true sense of belonging in their community.

However, transportation is one of our biggest challenges.

As our Big Hearts family continues to grow, we need a vehicle that can safely transport a larger group of our clients and staff together. Our current transportation capacity can limit the number of individuals who are able to participate in an outing at one time. A 15-passenger van would allow us to include more of our clients in community experiences without having to leave someone behind simply because we do not have enough seats.

For many of the individuals we serve, opportunities to get out into the community may be limited. Big Hearts wants to help change that.

With adequate transportation, our clients can participate in volunteer projects, recreational outings, community events, shopping experiences, restaurants, educational activities, and visits to local businesses and attractions.

Every destination offers an opportunity to learn and grow.

A trip to a restaurant can help someone practice ordering a meal, communicating with others, and appropriate social skills.

A shopping trip can provide opportunities to practice making choices, handling money, and increasing independence.

A volunteer project can give someone the opportunity to help others and experience the pride that comes from contributing to their community.

And sometimes, an outing is simply an opportunity to have fun, laugh with friends, experience something new, and make memories.

These are everyday experiences that many of us take for granted, but they can mean so much to the individuals we serve.

This Van Is More Than Transportation

To Big Hearts, a 15-passenger van isn't simply another vehicle.

It is access.
It is inclusion.
It is independence.
It is friendship.
It is community.
It is opportunity.

It means being able to tell more of our clients, “Yes, you can go too.”

Your North Texas Giving Day donation can help us move closer to purchasing a reliable 15-passenger van and opening the door to even more experiences for the adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and aging adults we serve.

Help Us Fill the Van With BIG HEARTS! ❤️🚐

When you give to Big Hearts, you aren't simply helping us purchase a vehicle. You're helping us take our clients beyond our doors and into a community where they deserve to be seen, included, valued, and involved.

Together, we can keep Big Hearts moving—one mile, one experience, and one BIG HEART at a time.
