NEPA Gives - Grand Total

💛 THANK YOU from Hardship Heroes! 💛

I want to take a moment to say thank you... but honestly, those two words hardly feel like enough.

Because of YOU, we raised a total of $2,643.86  🎉 online during NEPA Gives and an additional $124 while out and about yesterday. That’s 41 donors who chose to believe in our mission and invest in the lives of the heroes we serve. That includes our incredible matching sponsors: Country Home Learning & Art Center & Integrated Turf Science, your support gave this campaign even more meaning and momentum.

This was our very first year participating in NEPA Gives, and I can confidently say, we will absolutely be back next year! Was it a challenge to gather promise pledgers and donations? Yes. But it was also a reminder of what we’re capable of together. And let’s be honest, it beats planning a whole Hardship Heroes event just to raise the same amount of funds!

So now, we look ahead, because next year, we’re going BIG. We’re ready to build partnerships, rally even more support, and make NEPA Gives 2026 for Hardship Heroes one for the books!

To every single person who gave, shared, commented, or cheered us on… thank you from the bottom of my heart. You didn’t just give to a nonprofit, you gave hope to families in the thick of it. You showed up for the people who need it most. And that’s something we will never take for granted.

Thank you for choosing Hardship Heroes. Thank you for believing in the mission. The impact you made this week will be felt far beyond these 24 hours. 💛
