Hearts of Gold was built from lived experience. We know what it feels like to have loved ones inside the care system, and we know what it looks like from the inside because our family has worked within it. We created Hearts of Gold to make the placement experience warmer, safer, and more human.
We Have Sat Where You Are Sitting
We have been the family on the other end of this decision — worried, short on time, and afraid of choosing wrong. We know how heavy the phone feels when you are calling about someone you love.
And because our family has worked inside the care system, we have seen it from the other side too. We have seen what warm, attentive care looks like when it is done right. We have also seen what rushed decisions and cold processes feel like for families — and we knew it did not have to be that way.
What We Built Instead
Hearts of Gold is the guide we wish our own family had. We listen before we suggest anything. We learn your loved one’s story before we talk about options. And after placement, we stay — checking in with your family every month for the first 90 days.
Nothing about this work is a transaction to us. It is a family being walked through one of the hardest decisions of their lives by people who have made that walk themselves.
If you are carrying this decision right now, you do not have to carry it alone.
