Good News From The Desk of Place of Hope

 
 
 
 
 
 
Lives Are Being Transformed Because of Your Generosity! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Because of your support, stories of real transformation are unfolding every single day at Place of Hope—and the ripple effect is strengthening our entire community.
 
This past month, we welcomed a brother and sister sibling group into one of our homes, where they were met with open arms by a loving, supportive family. Transitions like these are never easy, but with stability, consistency, and care, both children are already adjusting to new schools and beginning to thrive.
 
We are seeing incredible growth in our youth—not only academically, but personally. One young man raised his grades across multiple classes, a reflection of both his determination and the support system your generosity makes possible. Even more powerful, he chose to give back—volunteering at a local food distribution and sharing that he once stood in those same lines. Today, he is part of the solution.
 
Moments of joy and childhood—often missed before coming into care—are now becoming lasting memories. A young girl recently celebrated her 6th birthday surrounded by friends, laughter, and a surprise party she called “the best birthday ever.” For many of our children, these are first-time experiences of being truly seen, valued, and celebrated.
 
We are also witnessing growth in character and faith, as our children learn accountability, compassion, and what it means to make positive choices—even when no one is watching.
 
These moments may seem small, but together they represent something much bigger: healing, redirection, and hope. When children are given stability, support, and opportunity, they are far more likely to succeed in school, build healthy relationships, and contribute positively to their communities.
 
Because of you, lives are being changed—and futures are being rewritten.
 
Thank you for making this possible!

Family Church of North Stuart is truly living out its mission to “live to bless,” and we are so grateful. After recently touring our Bender Family Campus, their team jumped into action—launching a two-week drive to collect essential household items like cleaning supplies, linens, and more for families preparing to move in.
 
Because of their generosity, incoming residents of the Snyder Family and Smith Brothers Family Foundation Residences will feel welcomed, supported, and cared for from day one. These homes, located within our Lane Family Village, will soon serve more than 32 young families and youth who might otherwise be facing homelessness.
 
We are incredibly thankful for the Martin County community continuing to wrap its arms around Place of Hope as we enter our 11th year serving the Treasure Coast.

Our Bender Family Campus in Stuart is celebrating an exciting milestone, the ribbon cutting and dedication of our upgraded Campus Sports Court!
 
This project was made possible by the generosity of the Atkins Family and Pure Health World, along with an inspiring effort called Hoops for Hope, led by two local high school students. Their work helped fund a fully resurfaced court, new fencing, and lighting! This space will serve as a place for connection, recreation, and growth for the children and families we support.
