Stories on how our grants have helped Kids: Hopemv.org/Stories
Children who suffer from a chronic or terminal illness must endure frequent hospitalization, countless appointments and undergo several procedures; all while just trying to be a kid, says The Hope Foundation’s founder and executive director, Anthony Spano. This also places an incredible financial burden on their families.
“Through the generosity of our donors and the tireless efforts of our volunteers and board members, we are proud to offer these programs as a way to help enhance the lives of our local children with chronic or terminal illnesses, and help their families with the financial challenges,” Spano says. “We are grateful for the continued support of our community and we are eager to work with some great local organizations to help fulfill our mission.”
