A note from the Hearts + Heroes founder:
In 2018, I lost a partner while working. He was a father to a very young and beautiful little girl. He talked about her all the time and always asked questions about different activities he could do with her. Being a mother of two, almost three at the time, I had all the answers.
He passed away February 13, 2018, a day that I will never forget. His passing hit me hard for multiple reasons, but a huge part of that was because he was a father to that young girl. My partner reminded me a lot of my husband. His death really made me realize that in our field of work, one of us could walk out the door and tell our children goodbye; not knowing if we will ever walk back in.
We will never be able to bring that loved one back, but we can help them to "Never Forget".

This is when the Hearts + Heroes Project was born. A portion of every regular sale goes towards the creation of a customized memory doll.
If purchasing a doll is not something you would like to do, but you want to help, you can make a donation or purchase Hearts + Heroes Project Apparel.
If you know a child who has lost a parent in the line of duty or during active service, please email us at info@heartsandheroesus to get them added to a waiting list for a Hearts + Heroes customized memory doll. We will try to accommodate as many families as possible, but unfortunately we do not have unlimited resources and we rely on regular sales and donations to continue to fund the project. We can only offer a customized memory doll to a child (18 and under) and within a year of the passing of their loved one. Special circumstances will be considered.
We appreciate all that you do and we thank you in advance!

Thank You <3
We are so grateful and thankful to our donors that have helped us be able to get dolls out to more families. It is important that we show these families that we have their six. It is hard to imagine a loved one walk out the door for duty and never walking back through those doors. We never think it will happen to us; until one day it does. We will never be able to bring that loved one home; but we plan on helping to keep the memory alive.
