Can you imagine how overwhelming it is to have a sick child or spouse? Yet you still have to go to work each day? What if you had to quit your job? What if you lost your job? How would you pay your bills? How would you keep your house? What if your car broke down? How would you buy necessary food for you and others in your family? How would you handle the stress? Where would you turn for help? Faith's Hope Foundation was established to provide a solution for medically and financially disadvantaged families. The Foundation attempts to bridge the gap left by other well-meaning organizations. Recognizing that each individual organization has areas of strength, we have chosen to byp%!$! our weaknesses by becoming Synergistic Partners with one another. Our organizations focus on meeting the needs of families traumatized by a cherished loved one's lengthy stay in the hospital. It's not enough just to care for these special families; we need to make special efforts to diligently campaign for funds and act as advocates for these needy families. Our aim is to be a safety net for critically ill patients and their families. Whether the need exists for groceries, house payments, car payments, or counseling, the desire of Faith's Hope Foundation is to be there for these families in their immediate time of need. FAITHS HOPE Foundation is an acronym for Family %!$!istance In The Hospital Specializing in Helping Others Pay Expenses. The mission of Faith's Hope Foundation is to %!$!ist families who are facing homelessness and poverty due to the long-term illness or hospitalization of a loved one. The emotional and financial stress of serious illness and long-term hospitalization often results in families losing their jobs, their homes and even each other as the family unit dissolves under the pressure. Faith�s Hope works with these families to pay utility bills, rent or mortgage and car payments, purchase groceries, and help cover other necessary costs that, because of major medical bills, the families may not otherwise be able to afford. Our task, simply put, is to help those in need without the bureaucracy of red tape, and to share by example the good news of Jesus Christ.
