Why Your Donation Matters

The Harvest Trauma Recovery Center (HTRC) is a lifeline for survivors of violence, trauma, and crisis who often have nowhere else to turn. As Texas' first and only Trauma Recovery Center, HTRC provides free mental health care, case management, legal advocacy connections, and support for basic needs. On September 30, 2026, the funding that sustains these critical services will end. Without immediate support, vulnerable individuals and families could lose access to the care and resources they need to heal and rebuild their lives. Your donation can help keep this vital lifeline open and ensure survivors continue to receive the hope, healing, and support they deserve.
