Annual Report 2015
Everyone has a story.
Our lives are made up of a series of stories. Some
of them might be big: graduations, marriages,
births, vacations. But most of them are the small
stories we live out every day. They’re the stories
of the movie we went to see over the weekend,
the afternoon we spent visiting with an old friend.
They’re the stories of the things we decide to try,
the friends we end up making, and the places that
become part of who we are.
At Heart Havens, people make their stories what
they want them to be. Whether it’s learning a new
craft, attending a community festival, or simply
spending an evening at home with friends playing
games, Heart Havens residents make choices
every day that contribute to full, vibrant lives.
Every Heart Havens life story is unique, but they
all have one thing in common: empowerment.
From our CEO
Jennifer spends some quality time with Melissa at our
Macleigh-Holland home in Virginia Beach.

What’s your life story?
When you see that question, what do you think about? Do you think
about the timeline of your life’s big events? Do you start thinking about
opening lines — “It was a dark and stormy night?”
At Heart Havens, we believe that, while big life events are certainly
important, our life stories are really made up of the little things we
live out each day. Maybe you like to spend your Saturday afternoons
fishing or at baseball games. Maybe Thursday nights for you are
karaoke nights. Perhaps you took a summer to learn to kayak with
friends. While you might not list these small, individual stories on your
life’s timeline, they are absolutely what make your life full, vibrant, and
enjoyable.
In 2015, Heart Havens residents did all sorts of wonderful things
that contributed to their life stories. Some chose to give back to their
communities, including through a dog food drive for a local animal
shelter and collecting items for children in the hospital. Others
participated in art shows and community plays. There were, of course,
picnics, parties, and proms. All of these stories, from the smallest trip
to the store to the biggest trip to the beach, made for some exciting life
stories in our Heart Havens homes— and your support makes these
stories possible!
Though we are highlighting only two people we support in this annual
report, every single Heart Havens resident has a wonderful story to
share. You can keep up with us year-round by liking or following us on
Facebook and Twitter.
Thank you again for your support of Heart Havens. As always, if you’d
like to schedule a Heart Havens speaker to give a program at your
church or small group, please call us toll-free at (877) 442-8368.

Polly
Polly’s stories all center around her home in
the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. She loves
the mountains, and she loves being part of
community events and festivals in Stuarts Draft
and Waynesboro. At one of those festivals in
2015, she even got to meet a Minion!
Her favorite thing, though, is hiking. She loves
going to various parts of the Valley and seeing
the different scenery and experiencing all types
of nature. Whether she’s exploring the botanical
garden at Ridgeview Park in Waynesboro or hiking
to Crabtree Falls in George Washington National
Forest, there’s always something new for her to
notice, and she loves telling others about what
she’s seen.

Steven
Steven’s stories all surround some of his favorite
things to do. He’s very well connected in his
home of Winchester, where he attends church,
participates in horseback riding, goes bowling,
and more.
But Steven especially loves the martial arts. He
has taken some karate classes in the past, and
even earned a black belt. He displays several
awards and belts in his room, and he loves to talk
about what he’s learned. His next martial arts
adventure, he hopes, will be kickboxing classes at
a studio that recently opened near the Saratoga
home in Winchester. He’s excited about the
possibility of learning something new and making
some new friends!

Volunteers are Awesome!
We love our volunteers! In 2015, volunteers
had pizza parties and picnics with our residents,
painted rooms, stuffed brochures, provided
lawn care, and so much more. Many volunteers
come from the United Methodist connection
in the Virginia Annual Conference, but several
volunteers from Catholic and Episcopal
congregations also blessed us. We were proud
to participate in Hands On Day with Hands On
Greater Richmond.
Volunteerism translates into money saved for
us. In 2015, maintenance and repairs for our
homes cost $47,882.66. Because of volunteers,
that number is mostly large repairs, like flooring
or appliance replacement. Without our dedicated
volunteers, our maintenance costs would be
much higher. Contributions from pizza parties
and other visits are priceless!

Grant Highlights
Heart Havens was proud to continue our
partnership with Richmond Residential and
SupportOne to create a career ladder for our
direct support professionals! This program,
funded by a generous grant from the Richmond
Memorial Health Foundation, provides the College
of Direct Support curriculum to help our staff
move up in their careers.
A grant from the Knights of Virginia (KOVAR)
allowed us to update some of the furniture at
three homes, while The Mary Morton Parsons
Foundation generously funded several needed
major maintenance projects. We also received a
grant of new vans from the Virginia Department
of Rail and Public Transportation for our
Macleigh-Holland and Mary Beth Graff homes.
