Psychology of a Leader

Merry Christmas ❤️

Healingthroughaction.org is incredibly grateful for each of you. Today we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The One who stepped into humanity, carried our pain, our fears, and our burdens, and offered us hope, healing, and a love deeper than we can fully comprehend.

Because of Him, we have forgiveness.
Because of Him, we have redemption.
Because of Him, we have new life, peace, purpose, and a love that transforms us from the inside out.

This Christmas, we pray your heart feels His presence in a tender and real way. May your home be filled with warmth, joy, health, and hope. And may you be reminded that you are loved, valued, and never alone.

Meet Brooklyn, our newest precious rescue, a 7-week-old baby girl who was being given away in a grocery store parking lot. A kind Good Samaritan saw her, reached out for help, and now she is safe, loved, and beginning a brand-new chapter. Stories like Brooklyn’s remind us why compassion matters. Every act of kindness changes a life.

Fostering or adopting truly fills your heart with joy, meaning, and unconditional love. If you’ve ever felt a tug on your heart to help an animal in need, we would love to connect with you. Email us at [email protected] or text 713-377-2731 with your name and email and we’ll send you more information.

If you would like a tax write-off for the 2025 year, Healing Through Action is gratefully accepting donations so we can rescue more animals in need. Every gift helps save a life. ❤️

From our hearts to yours,
Merry Christmas, blessings, and love.

💡Donors who give to a PUBLIC CHARITY 509(a)(1, 2, or 3) can deduct up to 60% of their adjusted gross income (AGI) from their annual taxes. A donation to a PRIVATE FOUNDATION 501(c)(3) may be limited to 30% of their AGI. A 501(c)(3) organization is presumed to be a private foundation until it proves they are a public charity. Once they have proved they are a public charity, a nonprofit will then be distinguished as a 509(a)(1), 509(a)(2), or 509(a)(3) public charity. This is important because donations to a private foundation and a public charity are taxed differently. Healing Through Action is a PUBLIC CHARITY, not a private foundation; we are an official 509(a)(2), and donors can deduct up to 60% of their adjusted gross income (AGI) from their annual taxes. Our EIN is 33-1500893. 👉 Donate here: https://donorbox.org/healingstartshere 🙏🐾
