     Eric's Heart is a not for profit group supporting those who have been touched by suicide.  Our goal is to help families with counseling, medication, and funeral costs for those who have lost loved ones to suicide or that are struggling with thoughts of suicide.  We also like to help families by making house visits. With this we are here to keep company, help around the house, and just to have someone there. We understand when losing a loved one that times alone are hard and can lead to terrible depression. Also when it comes to moving items that belonged to the loved one can be extremely difficult so we offer to help pack up, or move items to where ever they need to be placed. 

​

    We provide a safe support meetings where feelings can be shared with others who understand. We want to let those who have lost someone to suicide know that they are not alone and they can reach out to others who know and understand what they are going through. 

Your donations will allow us to help others who find themselves in the same place we were in 2012; reeling from the loss of a loved one to suicide.  Eric's Heart is dedicated to helping the families left behind while educating others to end the stigma of suicide and mental health issues.

 

    Eric's Heart has funded the village of Brookfield's Narcan Program. We have provided 32 kits to be used by Brookfield police to stop heroin overdoses. This is becoming such a big toll on the community we took action to help. 


Thank you for your support
