Why we do what we do...
In loving memory of hope a. manning
August 17, 1997 – December 13, 2002
Below these words were found on a daily calendar of encouragement, and just so happen to fall on Hope’s Birthday. Hope was a victim of child abuse, and her death devastated our entire community. From this horrible tragedy many positive changes were made as to how agencies and law enforcement handle child abuse cases so we may better protect our children, and one of the reasons House of Hope was created and why we carry the name Hope. We can never do enough to give back what was lost, but the hope of saving more children is what gives us the energy to carry on. “And a child shall lead them”.
—
Hope is a wonderful gift from God,
a source of strength and courage in the face of life’s harshest trials.
When we are trapped in a tunnel of misery,
hope points to the light at the end.
When we are overworked and exhausted,
hope gives us fresh energy.
When we are discouraged,
hope lifts our spirts.
When we are tempted to quit,
hope keeps going.

Ms. I. Jones
Recipient
In the beginning of 2021, my hot water heater went out and I was having to heat water on the stove to give my grandchildren baths. I am on a fixed income and could not afford a replacement. Not too long after this my central heat and air went out; I was having to use space heaters to heat the house. I own my modular home, so all expenses were left up to me. I am on disability and my income is very low. Ms. Melton the Executive Director with the House of Hope was able to replace everything for me because of the unexpected funds earmarked for the House of Hope Grace Program. This made such a huge difference in our life. I have taken care of my grandchildren since they were very young. They are now 10 and 12 years old. Thank you so much for your help.
