Tender Hearts Tender Hearts was formed as a way to help children and their families receive better medical care and improve their quality of life.

Tender Hearts, founded by Ms. Debria Doherty of Doherty & Associates, was formed as a way to help children and their families receive better medical care, and improve their quality of life. The organization’s mission is to donate to different organizations that support children with diverse needs in order to create a better quality of life.

“Helping to keep families together, especially when children are hospitalized, has always been a top priority in my personal life,” says Doherty. “As I’ve learned through my own experience with the hospitalization of close family members and as myself as a child, these types of events can be devastating for families and the wellness of the child.” “Having family by their side increases the well-being and welfare of the child and enables faster recovery”. Over the last 14 years, Doherty & Associates has given back by supporting children’s charitable organizations. Most recently, in 2014, Doherty & Associates was a proud sponsor of the March of Dimes Dancing for Babies program; furthermore, in 2013, the company raised $35,600 in donations, which went to help provide affordable lodging at the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware.

❤️ A Medically Fragile Child Is a Child First. ❤️

Behind every diagnosis is a child with dreams. A child who wants to laugh, play, explore, learn, and experience all the wonderful moments that make childhood special.

And behind every child is a family whose love, strength, and determination know no limits. 💕

At Tender Hearts, we believe that every child deserves more than simply having their medical needs met. They deserve opportunities. They deserve independence. They deserve inclusion. And above all, they deserve the joy of being a child.

For families raising medically fragile children, the simplest everyday activities can sometimes present the greatest challenges.

Getting safely through the front door. Moving freely around the house. Enjoying a bicycle ride. Taking a bath safely. Participating in the everyday moments that bring families together.

These aren’t luxuries. They’re the building blocks of dignity, independence, and a better quality of life.

💜 That’s where Tender Hearts makes a difference.

Through our Mobility Program, we help Delaware families overcome obstacles that insurance and other resources often leave behind.

From wheelchair ramps and stair lifts to adaptive bicycles, bathroom modifications, and specialized equipment, our work is about so much more than accessibility.

✨ It’s about a child discovering newfound freedom.

✨ It’s about a parent feeling relief instead of worry.

✨ It’s about families sharing experiences they once thought might never be possible.

✨ It’s about replacing barriers with opportunities and challenges with hope.

Because sometimes, changing one thing in a child’s environment can change their entire world. ❤️

Since 2014, Tender Hearts has stood beside Delaware’s medically fragile children and their families, helping make the seemingly impossible possible.

And every day, we’re reminded that the greatest measure of our impact isn’t what we provide. It’s what becomes possible because of it.

A smile. A milestone. A moment of independence. A family experiencing a little more peace of mind.

These are the moments that matter. These are the lives we’re working to change.

❤️ Every child matters. Every family deserves support. And every act of kindness has the power to open a door to a brighter tomorrow.

Together, we can continue breaking down barriers, creating opportunities, and reminding Delaware families that they are never alone.

Changing Environments. Opening Doors. Brighter Tomorrows. 💕

🙏 Help us continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of Delaware’s children.
