Delvata is extremely dedicated to helping others and in 2017 she founded Issues of the Heart, an organization designed to encourage the hearts and minds of women and children who are facing similar challenges that she and her children endured. Delvata stated, “My goal is to always give hope, help and encouragement to someone - simply because, ‘somebody’ helped me”. If I can help somebody as I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a kind word or song, if I can show somebody they are traveling wrong, then my living will not be in vain!!
