Testimonials

I am so grateful to Tender Hearts help in providing mattresses for my three daughters. My daughters are severely autistic and incontinent. They soiled mattresses regularly over and over again. We have spent a lot of money on mattresses and mattress covers over the years that kept getting soiled. Tender Hearts provided mattresses that clean up well and will keep them sanitary. This Charity is awesome.

Thank you so much, you placed a smile on my daughter face for the first time in a very long time! The little girl rarely speaks but that day she spoke saying the word: P-re-s-en-ts

I joined Tender Hearts this fall and to be honest this group of UNPAID people have such compassion and commitment to children they don’t know it is a bit overwhelming . They don’t personally know these children they just KNOW that the kids need help to have some small piece of normalcy. When you see these kids faces when they get the help they need you instantly feel Paid in full by their happiness it is really amazing

Dear Tender Hearts,

I am Lucas and I want to say thank you for your generous donation towards my Jaw Malocclusion surgery. This will help relieve the cost of the surgery. This surgery means so much to me, as it will help me move forward in life stronger. I will be able to have clearer Speech, breathe easier, have an aligned jaw, and prevent jaw issues for the future.

Thank you for making this possible.

Thanks,

Lucas and Family
