The Phoenix Bracelet was created for every survivor of abuse. Each edge is adorned with an I Love You Charm to remind you that the beginning of healing is self-love. The Purple represents the color of royalty and bravery. The four charms are the foundation for the I am Collection:
I am Legendary and Refined (the crown & butterfly)-my story is the foundation of the person you see today.I am Heartful (the heart & helping hand) - though my heart was wounded I am filled with love for others.The Phoenix—Abuse and its effects died through the fire from my experience and I was reborn anew, majestic, bold, unwavering, and fearless.

WHY WE EXIST?
Royal Hearts Foundation of America was started because of the personal experience of it's founder Demetrice Martin. At the age of 5, she was sexually abused by her mother's boyfriend, and continually molested by different men all before the age of 12. Initially, she considered becoming an attorney to prosecute those who did harm, but in her second year of college she had an opportunity to intern at a clinic which led her to embrace her natural talents for helping others move beyond their obstacles and changed her major to Psychology. Demetrice decided to learn the inner workings of the brain to better understand people. After graduation, she began working with kids with behavioral concerns and adults with mental illness. She continued this work receiving two Master's degrees from Liberty University. Due to life changes, she moved back to Louisiana. In 2012, she began working as a Mental Health Professional and Program Coordinator for a local mental health agency. During her tenure, she encountered several young ladies who were sexually abused in the home. 90% of the clients received no assistance from local agencies or information about their cases. She could no longer stand by quiet and watch as these victims were victimized a second time by those agencies that were meant to help. And so, Royal Hearts Foundation was born to bring about awareness, to stand beside the victims and assist them through the aftermath of abuse.
We are calling all warriors! Join us for the fight against, pain, and abuse. If we stand as one, no one goes unheard or feels alone!

Here's some word from beautiful people we were able to impact!
A father of a 3 year old Texas girl called us because he noticed that his daughter was afraid to go near her mother and subsequently noticed red handprints on her bottom. He didn’t know what to do. In speaking with him we learned that his wife had been abused when she was a child and was now continuing the cycle. After sending the wife information, we spoke with the couple on the phone . Like most abusers she was in denial. We explained that she was continuing the cycle which she hadn't even realized and discussed the consequences of what could happen if she were to continue with this type of parenting. We arranged for her to receive parenting classes in her town and for she and her husband to attend family therapy sessions. Since she began these programs she has not only has not spanked or screamed at her daughter, but has begun creating a loving home situation where her daughter reaches out to her more readily.
A mother of a 5 year old Westchester, NY girl contacted us because someone gave her one of our brochures. When she read how screaming at children can cause great harm to them she realized she needed help. She also realized she was continuing the cycle passed down from her mother.
Love Our Children USA arranged for her to receive parenting classes and anger management therapy close to her home. She has reported to us that she no longer screams at her daughter, but has created a more loving relationship with her.
