Uplifted Hearts Foundation and YMCA Collaborate to Donate Over 400 Pairs of Shoes to Houston Children
HOUSTON, February 12, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - The Uplifted Hearts Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting child refugees and orphans, has partnered with the YMCA in Houston to distribute over 400 pairs of new sneakers to children in the community. According to a recent press release, the event, held on February 8, 2024, at the YMCA's facilities in Houston, reflects the foundation's commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of underprivileged children.
Founded by Hanin Al Qoreishy, the Uplifted Hearts Foundation draws inspiration from Al Qoreishy's personal journey from Iraq to the United States at the age of 12, overcoming significant obstacles including cultural and linguistic barriers. Al Qoreishy, who is also the Founder and President of Houston-based Legacy Insurance Advisors, has been recognized in the Houston Business Journal for her contributions to the local business community and her philanthropic efforts through her foundation.
The foundation emphasizes the importance of a nurturing family environment as the foundation for a child's emotional well-being and development. It advocates for the creation of supportive spaces where children can learn vital life skills such as trust, empathy, and resilience.
Looking ahead, the Uplifted Hearts Foundation has announced plans for additional events in 2024 aimed at providing further support to Houston families. These events will include the distribution of materials, donations, food, and special events designed to positively impact the lives of child refugees and orphans in the Houston area.
