Mission Statement
At Peaceful Hearts Foundation, we believe every child and survivor of childhood sexual abuse should feel safe, supported, and empowered to thrive. By raising public awareness through media engagements, community events, informational campaigns, education programs, and legislative action, we seek the elimination of childhood sexual abuse from every community.
About This Cause
About Peaceful Hearts Foundation Our Story As the world tuned into the news for updates on the "Sandusky Scandal" in 2011 and 2012, our family sat in the epicenter of the storm. Matt and Kim were engaged to be married when their worlds were turned upside down. In November of 2011, Matt's adoptive father, Jerry Sandusky, was arrested for sexually assaulting at least ten young boys. Many months and incredible amounts of soul searching, strength and courage led Matt to contact authorities about the abuse that he had suffered at the hands of his adopted father. The storm that followed would be one that Matt and his family could never have imagined or prepared for. Through personal pain and heartache and healing, we created Peaceful Hearts Foundation. Our goal: to foster an environment where survivors and loved ones can come together to share their experiences and receive compassion, help and support, unconditionally. It’s amazing what we can do when we come together. If we are truly going to make a society safe for survivors, it’s going to take a lot of courage and cooperation. Will you join us in making this important change? Our Vision and Mission Peaceful Hearts Foundation provides survivor-informed advocacy for the elimination of childhood sexual victimization and trauma. We envision a safe society in which all survivors can come forward, share their truths and receive the love and support they deserve. Peaceful Hearts works to support the following initiatives: public awareness and education about childhood sexual abuse(CSA) resources for survivors and families stricter laws, regulations and mandatory penalties for abusers and establishments that turn a blind eye a greater commitment to prevention, intervention and accountability Peaceful Hearts raises public awareness about CSA through media and community events, as well as education and information campaigns that enable the public to proactively participate in creating a community that is free of child abuse and safe for survivors to heal. We are committed to developing resources and programs that empower survivors to find their voices and reclaim their lives. We believe that the power and support that is found when survivors come together to share their experiences needs to be promoted in all communities. We see abuse as a vicious cycle and hope that communities and survivors can come together to implement measures for prevention, intervention and accountability. Peaceful Hearts believes that if we can all find a way to come together and speak about the epidemic that is child sexual abuse, we will create a world much safer for all children and the 42 million survivors that are currently in the United States.
