Our Story
Our story begins with one woman’s journey through loss, healing, and rediscovery - and her determination to ensure that no survivor ever feels alone again.
Hagar’s Heart was born from our founder’s personal experience with domestic abuse and the profound realization that abuse is not only physical, but psychological and every survivor of abuse deserves to feel seen, valued, and loved.
They belittle, disempower, and instill fear at every opportunity. We aim to educate the need for self-care and empowerment and build self-esteem. To undo the damage done and let survivors know without a doubt that they are worthy of love, they are enough, and they have a future.
We show survivors how much they are valued through acts of kindness, gifts of love, listening to their stories, and giving them time to recover. When a person knows someone cares, they can be brave, they can be positive, they can believe in a future, and they can have hope again.
I now see my worth. As a survivor, I founded Hagar’s Heart to empower others to reclaim what was taken; their confidence, voice, and belief in themselves.
