An example of helping

I have a friend that has a teenage daughter. Her daughter has a friend that we will call Hope. Hope lives with her mother and older sister. Hope is in a pretty tough situation being as young as she is. Her mother doesn't provide the basic necessities for Hope such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste etc. Sometimes Hope doesn't even have any food to eat.

I have never met Hope, but along with another one of my friends, have been able to give her all sorts of basic necessites that were purchased with coupons for our stockpiles. The things we gave her really didn't cost all that much for us because of how we shop, but I am sure they are priceless to a teenager who is neglected.

It is my hope that Family Hope Ministries will be able to raise enough funding to open it's doors to Hope and others just like her. We would be able to provide clothing and household items as well as give them the necessary instruction on how to handle money, how to cook, garden, sew and other basic skills.

We need your help to care for and encourage those in need. Would you please join us in our efforts to help improve the lives of those around us? Please send your tax-deductible donation today to:
