"I grew up in a large family here in the Tri-State area where I learned good Midwestern values, faith, the importance of hard work, and personal and collective responsibility. I have four grown children and eight grandchildren who are the absolute lights of my life. I raised my four amazing children in New England where I also spent many years volunteering in my community and enjoying a rewarding career with Goodwill Industries of Northern New England as a nonprofit National Service Program Director; serving multiple states and many communities largely concentrated in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. In addition to my role as Mom & MiMi, working for the good of the community, and helping people is my passion. Being a champion of service, it is my great honor to serve the children and families of Borrowed Hearts."

Sarah Gough, Founder

My husband Matthew and I became foster parents in 2012 after learning it would be difficult to have biological children. We opened our home and hearts to children in need. We quickly realized that these "borrowed hearts" were in great need of things we take for granted such as clothing and a toothbrush. They would arrive in the middle of the night with only the clothes on their backs. Out of this need, Borrowed Hearts was formed.
