Our Story
Our story begins with one woman’s success in rebuilding her life after abuse and her determination to help make the path to recovery easier for others.
Breaking the cycle of domestic violence requires a strong heart and mind. Abusers do everything they can to destroy their victim’s belief in themselves.
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 the God who sees me. I am a survivor of domestic abuse too and Hagar’s Heart is a calling.
To help others get back what was taken –
self-esteem and belief in themselves.
