As a faith-based organization, we endeavor to be a positive influence to children in need by remembering them with basic life essentials and school supplies, clothing, toys, and encouragement throughout each year until their situation improves or they move from the area.

My Joyful Heart provides the little things that may often be missing in the life of a child in need. By providing these gifts regularly throughout the year we extend love and hope to these children, making them feel special and letting them know that people do care.

If the culture of joblessness, gangs, and violence as a way of life in low-income areas is going to change, children are a prime population on which to focus efforts for change. First, however, the obstacles of low self-esteem, loss of hope, and lack of basic necessities must be removed. A child who never feels special to someone has no reason to try harder in school, or even to stay in school, and has no reason to stay out of gangs or to say no to drugs. My Joyful Heart is working to remove those obstacles and to help children have a better chance at a brighter future.
