Today is National Purple Heart Day 💜
We honor all who were wounded or gave their lives in service.

Our CEO, Donny Daughenbaugh, is one of them.
Shot in the face while serving as a Marine in Iraq, he still carries the bullet near his brain —and leads our agency with unshakable purpose.

His story is a powerful reminder:
Healing is possible. Mental health matters.
We will never forget the sacrifice of our nation’s heroes.

We’re grateful and excited to share we received a $500 Spark Good local grant from our Friendswood Sam's Club . This grant allows us to care for both hearts and needs.

For many of our clients—and even our counselors—therapy sessions are prioritized over meals. Some arrive hungry or dehydrated, having skipped food just to make it through the door. By providing snacks and cold drinks, we're not just offering comfort; we're creating a space where they can focus on healing. It’s a small gesture that makes a world of difference.

We are proud to spark good in our community!
