Heart Gallery of Greater Houston
Heart Gallery of Greater Houston is a powerful, traveling photographic exhibit created to help find forever families for children in foster care. Like any other child, these children like to laugh, learn, and have special talents and hobbies. Most of all, however, they dream of one day finding a forever family. More information, including ways to become a Heart Gallery Hero, is available on Heart Gallery of Greater Houston!
