UPDATE: The nonprofit organization Hearts of Gold is making urgent strides to uplift single mothers and their children living in shelters across New York City. For over 30 years, this grassroots initiative has been transforming lives by not only providing vital services but also instilling hope and belief in these families.
Just announced, the organization emphasizes the importance of community and emotional support as the first step in breaking the cycle of poverty. “We all need love, we all need support, we all need community,” stated Deborah Koenigsberger, the founder and CEO of Hearts of Gold. Her work has touched countless lives since 1994, offering mentorship and advocacy to mothers seeking a better future.
The impact of this organization is profound. One mother, Keiran Francis, shared her heartfelt experience, saying, “She’s like a mother. Not just for me, but also for my kids. She has really made a difference in my life.” This sentiment reflects the change Hearts of Gold is fostering within the community, providing not just resources but also a sense of belonging.
Through initiatives such as job training, paid internships, and workshops, Hearts of Gold is paving the way for women to feel stable, supported, and empowered. The organization highlights that true transformation begins with reminding mothers of their inherent worth.
As this story develops, the community’s response remains crucial. With ongoing programs and increasing demand for support, Hearts of Gold is calling for more volunteers and donations. This urgent appeal aims to ensure that more families can access the resources they desperately need.
The organization’s commitment to nurturing the emotional and practical needs of mothers in shelters is not just about providing services; it’s about creating a supportive network that fosters long-term stability.
