Compassion · Warmth · Dignity

You Are Seen.
You Are Still Becoming.

Project Heartbeat is a compassion-led initiative by A CRTV Project, created to restore dignity, offer warmth, and remind those in crisis that their story isn’t over.

Serving women, mothers, and unhoused neighbors with thoughtfully designed care kits and quiet reminders of hope.
The Story

Where Compassion Meets Design

Project Heartbeat was born in the quiet hours of the night, when a woman paused outside A CRTV Project — cold, exhausted, and trying to layer women’s underwear to stay warm after someone stole all of her belongings.

Out of nearly twenty stores in the strip, she chose this door. She carried grocery bags full of scraps and a story full of hurt, yet still took responsibility for pain she didn’t cause.

That moment became the heartbeat of this initiative — a reminder that care doesn’t have to be complicated. It just needs to be intentional, warm, and rooted in love.

The Kits

Practical Warmth · Gentle Hope

Each Project Heartbeat kit is thoughtfully designed for real-life challenges faced by women, mothers, veterans, and unhoused neighbors. Every item is chosen with dignity in mind.

Each kit may include:
  • A discreet, durable Project Heartbeat bag
  • A warm coat or layering piece
  • Soft, comfortable clothing
  • Socks and gloves
  • Hygiene essentials
  • Hand warmers
  • A pocket keepsake reminder
Designed with real lives in mind:

We prioritize practicality over aesthetics, safety over spectacle, and warmth over branding. Our goal is simple: make it easier for someone to move through their day feeling a little more protected, a little more loved, and a little less alone.

The Bag

Built to Protect · Not to Perform

The Project Heartbeat bag is inspired by the realities of living on foot, on a bike, or between places. It uses neutral tones and a minimal silhouette so it doesn’t draw attention, while remaining sturdy enough to carry the things that matter most.

Core features:
  • Neutral, non-attracting colors
  • Durable, weather-conscious materials
  • Zipper closure for security
  • Hidden interior pocket for valuables
  • Tote/backpack hybrid straps for mobility
Pocket Reminders

Hope You Can Hold Onto

Every kit includes a small, durable keepsake — something that can slip into a pocket, wallet, or palm on the hardest days.

These may be clay pocket cards, simple metal tokens, or waterproof scripture cards engraved with quiet reminders like:

You are seen
You are still becoming
God is with you
