Overview

Mission

To provide the personal and financial support needed by individuals with serious medical and financial problems when appropriate and other resources are not readily available.

What it reported doing in 2025

During 2025 Prayers Heard In Heaven provided a total of $63877 47 in direct assistance. $60317.47 of this was for patient assistance to 61 individuals patients positively impacting the lives of 200 family members. In addition we provided $3560.00 in benevolence to 51 patients and their families. This benevolence support included $1750 in disaster relief for an apartment complex of 50 residents. Our assistance efforts this year also focused on providing essential baby items and gift cards to pregnant mothers facing medical challenges. We also assisted cancer and transplant patients as well as families navigating financial hardships due to critical illnesses including the prevention of housing evictions and vehicle repossessions. Beyond direct aid we participated in a community wellness event for mothers and babies. Partnering with other nonprofits to combat poverty we contributed $2861.07 in baby items to support 70 mothers in need. The event served as a powerful reminder of how we can share Gods love in practical ways spreading hope to those in need.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
