The non-profit organization, Children Mending Hearts, is spreading the love even during the COVID-19 pandemic. By connecting with the Stronger Together project, they\u2019ve begun raising funds for their organization to continue with their programming next year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Driven by empathy and kindness, Children Mending Hearts<\/a> is an organization that equips children with the skills needed to connect with their emotions and the world around them. As a non-profit that works in schools, Children Mending Hearts has encountered more than one road block in the wake of COVID-19. While selling merch online is only a part of the story, it\u2019s been a powerful step in helping them continue offering their services and connecting with donors.<\/p>\n

We would love to start by learning more about your mission. What is the story behind Children Mending Hearts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Children Mending Hearts was founded by filmmakers Lysa and Grant Heslov in 2008 after taking in a family in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and several trips to war-torn countries like Sudan where Lysa connected to children through art.<\/p>\n

Lysa found herself wanting to empower children in the U.S. and beyond, to show empathy and help other children affected by poverty, violence or other painful circumstances such as bullying.<\/p>\n

So now for over 12 years, Children Mending Hearts has been dedicated to combating bullying and intolerance by inspiring empathy in children through art and service-learning programs.<\/p>\n
