About Brave Heart- Children in Need

Brave Heart- Children in Need, Inc. is a non-profit organization which was founded in July, 2004.  We are focused on the cause of improving the quality of life for children who are experiencing the emotional trauma of being removed from their homes due to abuse and/or neglect.  Brave Heart- Children in Need participates in many community projects and activities regarding the plight of abused children.  We are inspired by the concept of tangible items that can be looked at and used on a daily basis to remind a child that they can face the unknown with hope.  We have in place several programs which offer hope, encouragement, and comfort to children. 

 

Our Mission 

“Assisting children who have been removed from their home due to abuse and/or neglect; instilling hope for the future and comfort as they go through this trauma."

 

Our Goal
"
To give each child the tools to build self-confidence, tools to teach them accountability by ownership, and items for comfort.  Our desire is that they grow into productive citizens who in turn will contribute in positive ways to our Society."
