The Eric’s Heart Foundation
Education Tools Resources
At Eric’s Heart, the recipe for success consists of what a person knows, what they have to work with, and the opportunities they’ve been given. In building our community, we provide opportunities for individual growth and development. In serving our community, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to meet the needs of those around us.

From Eric’s Heart…
The highest form of wisdom is kindness.
In 2018, my life changed forever! My Brother, my Friend, my Mother’s only son died suddenly. Stuck in a whirlwind of bitterness and unanswered questions, I needed a way to channel the emotions I carried but could not explain. In 2019, a year after his death, I decided to turn my pain into purpose and honor the legacy of who he was. On this day, Eric’s Heart was born. Providing resources that meet the needs of our community, the Eric’s Heart Foundation embodies the very essence of who my brother was: A man who shared everything he had with the world.
Join us in our endeavor to spread Healing and Hope.
