Our story begins with one woman’s success in rebuilding her life after abuse and her determination to help make the path to recovery easier for others.
Breaking the cycle of domestic violence requires a strong heart and mind. Abusers do everything they can to destroy their victim’s belief in themselves. They belittle, disempower, and instill fear at every opportunity. We aim to educate the need for self-care and empowerment and build self-esteem. To undo the damage done and let survivors know without a doubt that they are worthy of love, they are enough, and they have a future. We show survivors how much they are valued through acts of kindness, gifts of love, listening to their stories, and giving them time to recover. When a person knows someone cares, they can be brave, they can be positive, they can believe in a future, and they can have hope again.
Hagar’s Heart supports, educates, and empowers domestic violence survivors through self-care initiatives. We care for survivors of domestic violence during recovery. We aim to give back what was taken from them by their abusers – their self-worth and trust. Since May 2020, we have helped over 8,500 survivors of domestic violence by gifting “I See You” boxes and hosting events that promote self-worth and value rest.
Hagar's Heart is proud to be partnering with North Texas Giving Day again this year! Our goal for 2025 is $12,000 with every dollar making an impact on domestic violence survivors in the North Texas region.
Hagar's Heart is proud to partner with 8 local domestic violence organizations in Collin, Dallas, and Tarrant counties. Each month our goal is to reach 300 survivors seeking help through delivering our "I See You" boxes, to our partner shelters. Additionally Hagar's Heart host programs throughout the year including Santa's Shack, Women's Day Brunch, Carry the Joy, Packing Parties, and more! For more information on some of our programs, check the infographics below.
It is said it takes 5-7 positive reinforcements to undo a single negative one. This is why each of our hand-picked and packed I See You Boxes contains multiple mementos of self-care.
On top of the box is a handwritten note from a volunteer emphasizing you are seen, worthy, loved, and deserve a new beginning. Inside, you will find self-care tools and personal items that may have been left behind when leaving but are also to encourage the survivor to see how self-care activities can promote healing.
It costs them nothing but gives much.
Volunteers partner with family units and guide children as they search for the ideal gift, providing their mothers with precious free time—a luxury they may not have enjoyed in a while. For women without children, we provide a wishlist, and volunteers can select gifts for these women.
Empowering women through the power of being seen and heard - and good times shared.
