“I was lost and trying desperately to just tread water in my ocean of grief.”
After the sudden and heartbreaking loss of her daughter’s father, Stephanie found herself overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. Her young daughter, Sarah, was struggling too—acting out and hurting in ways Stephanie didn’t know how to heal.
A caseworker shared information about New Hope for Kids, and though unsure of what to expect, Stephanie gave it a chance. Their first experience was through the summer camp program. What happened next changed everything.
“When I got the chance to come into the facility I was blown away. It felt so comfortable and peaceful. I felt like I was walking into a physical hug.”
From that first visit, Stephanie felt seen and supported. The compassionate team at New Hope for Kids provided a space where both she and Sarah could grieve—and begin to heal—together.
Today, Sarah is thriving. “She’s done a complete 180,” Stephanie shares. “We still have hard days, but I no longer feel alone in my grief.”
Thanks to your support, families like Stephanie and Sarah’s are not alone. Through compassionate care and dedicated programs, New Hope for Kids brings light into the darkest moments.
