After I (Jenn) lost Holli in 2022, the world felt like it was moving but I was standing still, almost stuck. Full of so many emotions; heart broken, angry, scared, sad and also trying to be there for Holli's family, I didn't know what to do with myself. Holli was the first person I talked to everyday and the person who wished me good night before I closed my eyes. She was my shoulder to cry on when I needed one and my favorite person to laugh with about everything and anything. She was my secret keeper, held my inside jokes and biggest fears. She was my person. After some time for myself, and a big career change, I decided that I was just going to start helping others with substance use disorder like myself and Holli.
I have held a yoga event, along with 3 annual boxing events in Holli's memory and overdose awareness. All proceeds were donated to recovery houses (Shevlin's Family Foundation/ Novak's House). I have held multiple food and clothing drives for recovery housing in 4 different counties and Wilmintington, DE. (PHILA, BUCKS, MONTCO, DELCO).
In November of 2024, Alixx approached me about starting a non-profit. She was already my right hand gal and friend through all of this and reminded me that we were already doing the work. I was still hesitant but then Alixx sent me a text saying "Heart of Holli". It was perfect and Alixx was the perfect partner to start this new venture with. She works from her heart at all times and is all about meeting people where they are at, to help them to get where they want to go. Empathy is our love lounge here at Heart of Holli.
Our mission is simple: we are here, working from our hearts to help the people that mean the most to your heart.
