The Campaign

In a world where connection and belonging are fundamental to our well-being, many adults find themselves navigating the silent struggle of estrangement from their family.

The isolation and loneliness faced by those estranged can have a profound impact on mental health and overall wellness. Recognizing the importance of connection and support, we are proud to announce the "Chosen Hearts" Collection.

You can get involved in two ways

Through monthly micro-fundraising events, we aim to destigmatize family estrangement, foster authentic connections, and support the mental health and wellness of all participants. Or, you can donate in the name of your chosen heart by sending them a postcard.

Gather & Give

Host an intimate gathering in your homes, college campuses, coffee shops, or other welcoming venues. These events are designed to:

  1. Celebrate Chosen Family: Honor and appreciate those who have become like family, acknowledging their vital role in providing support and creating a sense of belonging.

  2. Foster Connection: Bring people together to share their stories, speak their truths, and celebrate the relationships that have made their lives brighter.

  3. Support Mental Health: Raise awareness and funds to support the mental health and wellness of those affected by family estrangement, ensuring they have access to the resources and support they need.
