Testimonials

"HopeKids has impacted our family by allowing our children to just be children and not always the patient. HopeKids loves and celebrates our children along with their physical and medical differences. They help our children to just have fun and our families to bond and connect even further. They also help us connect with other families whose children are going through similar difficulties. We are able to make lasting memories because of HopeKids. " Elizabeth,  HopeKids Mom

"HopeKids provides small and big moments of joy and provides hope for the future.  Celebrating moments and engaging in fun activities helps my HopeKid feel like she is more than her diagnosis." Bonnie, HopeKids Mom

"HopeKids gives us the opportunity to go out and enjoy ourselves as a family again.  When it comes to our special kiddos, we take priority in their needs and financially can't afford things because our child's health and medical needs come first.  HopeKids gives us back the hope we need to take our family out and do things we never thought our kids would get to do. It also gives us a break spinning our heads trying to get ADA things set up when trying to go out". Alondra, HopeKids Mom

"I have been a monthly contributor to HopeKids since I first learned of the organization. I have several friends who have children with special needs, have faced childhood cancer or other medical conditions, so I'm intimately aware of some of the smaller challenges that these families face. Often, their finances are devoured by the cost of accommodations and/or treatments, their invisible load is always too heavy, and the opportunity to participate in a fun activity thatmost of us take for granted can have a lasting positive and restorative impact on their whole family - especially when they don't have to plan the event or pay for it! Knowing that I can help provide that for families month after month brings me joy!"- Brooke, Hope365 Monthly Donor

"Serving the HopeKids community is hands-down some of the most rewarding work that I do as a photographer. I love having the opportunity to pour love and joy into these families. One of my favorite aspects is that the 'pouring' can look very different within the family. It can be giving aHopeKid some confidence in their appearance during the shoot, spending an extra few minutes on a sibling that sometimes feels over-shadowed, or when Mom opens their gallery of images and falls in love with their photos. I believe that the goal is not just pretty family pictures. The goal is to provide the entire family with a stress-free and joyful family portrait experience!"- Stephanie, Stephanie Fassler Photography, Program Partner

"My 7 year-old grandson, Bentley, was born at 31 weeks with multiple complications, several of which have been life-threatening. I cannot say enough about how HopeKids has helped Bentley and his family feel less isolated, more vibrant and a part of the community. It gives them comfort, recognition, compassion, and encouragement when most of the world quickly passes by or, worse yet, stares."- Ward, Donor

"HopeKids has given our family opportunities to take Miela on adventures that make us feel comfortable and safe. HopeKids has also afforded us the opportunity to take all five family members to a unique range of events that we normally wouldn't be budgeting. We are sograteful for these adventures."- Carie, HopeKids Mom

"HopeKids doesn't only provide for the medical child, but for the entire family! They give us incredible opportunities and bring us joy in some of the toughest moments of our lives" -Khloe, HopeKids Mom
