Mission: As a faith-based organization, My Joyful Heart endeavors to be a positive influence to children in need by remembering them with basic life essentials, 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.
Results: Since 2002, we have grown from supporting two children to providing year-round assistance to over 1,100 children in the Chicago area and suburbs. In 2023, we hope to increase the number of children served to 1200 +. We can do this with your help! Please help us Bring Hope.
