Hope For One More has been advocating for children in foster care for nearly a decade. Since their beginning, in 2010, the community has joined their effort to aid children taken into protective custody and separated from their families during times of family crisis.
Initially, Hope Children’s Home was established by Hope For One More to provide emergency short-term foster care with intense evaluations to aid in children places in families that best suited their needs. However, over time, many children needed longer term foster are, and there weren’t homes- or foster parents, ready to provide care for these children. So, with a the help of the community, they reopened their doors in January 2019 and have cared for 21 children since.
On the main level of the home there is the House Parents Master Suite, a study lab and game room, family room, and a play room. There is a bathroom, as well, that is currently in need of a complete renovation that we hope to raise funds for and complete by fall 2019.
With the help of the community, Hope For One More will continue to grow and provide children with a home, stability, and love. Providing Hope For One More child, one more Home, one more Family.
