Abandoned by his dad. Mom is incarcerated.

This sweet boy was abandoned by his dad, his Mom is incarcerated and is now in the care of his aunt. She said "yes" when everyone else said "no." Overnight, she became his caregiver. As a single caregiver, she needed all of the essentials to care for him.

Through our Shade Tree Family Outreach program, we were able to provide the essentials she needed like new clothing, socks and shoes, diapers, wipes and a car seat.

Because you say "yes" to supporting Place of Hope, we are able to help more relative caregivers and nonrelative caregivers who need material support.
This sibling group of two have spent the last few years with their mom living in the woods, on friends couches, in a car and in motel rooms. When they came into our care due to homelessness and mom's drug abuse, all they had was a garbage bag and shoes that were too small for their feet and had holes in them.

We quickly got them cleaned up, fed and outfitted them with their own bed, dresser and closet with clean clothing and shoes that fit them!

Back to school is approaching, and these two are excited to make friends at their new school!
Overnight, Grandma became a caregiver. She did not plan to take in her two grandsons, but knew her daughter was unfit to care for them. She said "yes."

It had been many years since she had young ones in her home so she needed all the essentials for these two growing boys. Thankfully, her friend who volunteers at Place of Hope told her about us and encouraged her to reach out.

We were able to stock her with the items she needed for her two grandsons, just in time for back to school.
Imagine receiving a call in the middle of the night. It is the Department of Children and Families (DCF) asking if you and your spouse will take in your brothers three kids. They are on their way.

The kids have some basics, but not enough to get them through the first stretch of the school year that is quickly approaching.

What would you do?

Just this year, through our Shade Tree Family Outreach program we have served over 1,000 children and families with similar circumstances.
This single mom is thriving now that she is with us! Before coming to Villages of Hope, she was homeless, living in her car, but still diligently applying herself to her college studies. Due to the lack of affordable housing, she had to choose between working and her education. To build a better life for her new child, she chose her education.

Villages of Hope offers her affordable transitional housing and independent living so that she can save money while working hard on her education. She is in a safe and stable environment and is able to focus on becoming the best mom and role model for her baby.
Baby "A" came into care after spending time in the NICU withdrawing from her mother's drug abuse while pregnant with her.

This sweet bundle of joy is in care with her foster mom who is loving on her unconditionally. Baby "A's" foster mom needs some baby essentials to care for her as she was not expecting to take in a little so young.

Through our Shade Tree Family Outreach program, we were able to get her what she needed for Baby "A."
