In 2007, it our 6-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer. And our family moved to Memphis for her treatment, which lasted until October.
She is now in remission and a stunning 21-year-old! The HOPE Foundation’s mission from the beginning has been to assist parents who are in the same situation as we were.
However, just because you miss work does not mean that your regular bills go away, which can add to your stress.
We can now help families in Missouri get through the anguish with far less stress than we did.
All the effort that goes on throughout the year is all worth it if we can help just ONE family!

“I’ve been where you are now, because I was so stressed by not knowing how to cope, how to manage my time, or just being able to find someone to talk to.”

Please contact us if your bills or work schedule interfere with the care for your child. It can be devasting, but it doesn't have to be.
We assist financially in times of crisis when other organizations and insurance companies are not able to.
When our children are hospitalized, it's common to be on edge. There is HOPE and someone you can talk to when you feel alone.
Hope begins is the steady belief that when life gets heavy, someone will be there to help carry the weight. It’s the kind of faith that says, “Even when I don’t know how this will work out… I trust I won’t be alone when it does.”
That’s where the real kind of hope lives—the kind that doesn’t just sit still but leans forward, waiting. It comes alive when you hear the words, “We’ve got you.” When the unknown starts to feel a little less scary because you know someone’s already making a way for you.
Joy-filled hope shows up in those moments too—the ones where relief rushes in like a deep breath. Like finding out help is on the way. Like realizing you’re not forgotten. It’s the comfort that wraps around your shoulders when someone says, “We’re here, and we’re staying.”
And that’s exactly who we are at the H.O.P.E. Foundation. We’re a resource, a service, and a steady presence. A team that shows up when things get hard. A porch light that stays on when the rest of the world goes quiet.
Because we believe this: you matter. Your needs matter. And we’re here—especially when you need us the most.
