Howard's Heart was named after our founder's big-hearted grandfather, Howard Bunker, himself a teen in foster care in pre-World War II America. His stories of hardship and erasure echoed those of the teens we were privileged to serve.
We dedicated our work to his memory in our effort to make the world of foster care a little better for those who came after him.
