Volunteer Graphic Designer

Organization Overview: Mommy’s Heart, Inc. (EIN #87-4833078) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides free legal, mental health, advocacy, and economic empowerment services to parents and children who have escaped domestic abuse and continue to face coercive control and retaliatory litigation through the family court system. Systemic failures and unequal access to justice often enable abusers to weaponize the courts against survivors, contributing to an estimated 58,000 children each year being court-ordered into unsupervised contact, including sole custody arrangements, with an abusive parent. Every six days, a child dies due to family court failures. Mommy’s Heart works to protect the fundamental rights of fit parents and ensure that no parent fears losing a child for reporting abuse. Through legal and policy advocacy, education, mental health support, and programs promoting economic self-sufficiency, we help survivors access justice, heal, rebuild their lives, and achieve long-term safety and independence.
