Why Donate
We need funds in order to establish a physical CAC location for the children of Jones County. We hope to staff our center with a forensic interviewer as well as victims advocates who would work closely with law enforcement and Child Protective Services.

Successful Fundraiser
On December 14, 2019, we had a very successful fundraiser selling BBQ plates. On behalf of the board of directors of Cherished Hearts, thank you all so very much for supporting us in this endeavor to help Jones County's abused children. The amount of love you all showed was humbling and heartwarming. With your help we are going to get our children an advocacy center right here.
A special thank you to Kendall Rowell and Jamey Cooley for basically putting the whole thing together and making sure it happened. Also to Mr. James Vermilyea, Laurel Fire Department, and Kyle Smith and Jumps Unlimited for helping us provide some entertainment for the little ones. Thank you all so much for your support!
