We are dedicated to continuing the legacy of community outreach that was initiated in the seventies by the late Connie G. Lewis who taught her children and grandchildren to pay it forward by helping others. Her daughter LaMona Joyce continued to serve the Tarrant County community faithfully until she passed away. In 2010 Mona's Heart was officially started and became a 501(C)3 in 2017.
It is our mission to equip, train, and implement life improvement strategies, by educating/informing clients about the importance of program completion, goal setting, providing available resources, and teaching them how to have healthy mindsets to successfully bridge the gap between seen and unseen barriers that may impede success. MHO,Inc. is hands on in the community with a hands on approach by working together with a variety of independent and collaborative programs.
