Who We Are

Imagine...

…waking up one morning to learn that your mommy or daddy has died.

…being a five-year-old and losing your hair because of chemotherapy and feeling too sick to play.

Experiencing death, serious illness, and despair is often overwhelming, but there is always hope, and since 1996 there has been New Hope for Kids.

Making a Difference Every Day

New Hope achieves its mission through two programs – The David C. Joswick Center for Grieving Children and Wishes for Kids Program.

Each year, over 500 children and their families participate in the healing activities and support found at New Hope for Kids through our Center for Grieving Children, our Wishes for Kids Program, and our many family events.
