Stories of HOPE
Unprepared for this crisis, Carla had no baby supplies and felt lost. She wanted to provide a safe, loving home but did not know where to start. In desperation, she reached out to HOPE Coalition. HOPE advocates responded with warmth and support, helping Carla gather the items needed to care for the children and find local support services. Carla was able to rebuild a home for her grandchildren, giving them the stability they needed and the emotional support to make that happen.
