Welcome to The Heart Gallery
of New Mexico Foundation

Welcome to the Heart Gallery New Mexico Foundation (HGNMF) web site. It is our hope that with increased public awareness about the reality of New Mexico’s foster children, with your help, we can make a significant contribution to their lives.

It is common knowledge among professionals that foster children have quality-of-life-outcomes well below their peers from intact families; and are disproportionately more likely to become involved with mental health and juvenile justice systems, chemical dependency, homelessness, and despair.

This web site is dedicated to the goal of making a difference in the lives of these vulnerable youth. The difference a stable loving permanent family can make to children is immeasurable. However, experiences and opportunities, though not substitutes for a permanent family, can be invaluable – and even a major factor – in providing a brighter future and career opportunities for foster youth.

-Judy Richardson, Executive Director
