Karen, age 71, widow.“Their (H4H) mission has really humbled me during the most difficult time in my life. They are a safe place to get needed assistance without judgement. I feel that they don't just go to the job everyday, but are on a generous mission.” - Karen D. (71), widow, $1,622/mo. income. 

Celebrating 20 years of service to Denton County, Hearts for Homes continues to fulfill its mission to improve living conditions for low-income senior homeowners. Hearts for Homes is a Christian outreach providing hope and dignity through home rehabilitation and maintenance, affording low-income seniors, ages 60 and older, a safe, comfortable, and well-functioning home in which to age in place. 

Since 2006, Hearts for Homes (H4H) has been fervently striving to fulfill that mission to provide this vital service for aging adults of minimal means, who have little option but to age in place, by engaging volunteers & community partners to assist in providing no-cost home repairs, maintenance and safety modifications. Once a senior qualifies as a client, they are cared for until they no longer reside in the home. They know they can rely on H4H when they are in need of repair assistance. In the relentless Texas summer heat or frigid winters, a failing HVAC system is not only costly beyond their means, but also dangerous for these vulnerable seniors. H4H seniors rest assured knowing H4H is there to get their systems up and running at no cost to them. 

In the past 20 years, H4H has served 1,185 clients working 7,896 projects with the support of 100,687 volunteer hours. Our clients have incomes that fall at or below federal poverty levels, close to a third note a disability, and 70% are women, often widows. Their home is their sole anchor of economic security. Without H4H, these seniors would be at high risk for greater economic instability that could lead to homelessness, greater risk of severe injury from falls and other health risks, depression, and more. 

We not only repair homes, we restore lives, and enable our clients to live out their life story safely, independently and with dignity. Join us in celebrating the tremendous impact Hearts for Homes has made over the last two decades by donating this North Texas Giving Day to help our work continue, relieving the burden of home repairs, maintenance and safety modifications on seniors like Karen as they age in place. 

As a member of the Hearts for Homes Board, I thank you for your support, compassion and generosity.
