Welcome to The Center for Help and Hope
A place where you can...
You might feel bogged down by never-ending To Do Lists and bills to pay.
But you still want to help the hurting people who cross your path each day.
Everyone can afford to give something. Small amounts, when added together, can make a BIG difference.
What our donors are saying...
I come from a single parent home. I was inspired to donate because this organization supports families like mine. The services they provide give women hope and make their dreams come alive. I feel so good donating to this organization because I know am making a difference in the world.

The Center for Help and Hope helps women who don’t have the emotional support they need in times of crisis. This organization helped me and I wanted to give back. I got support when I needed it most and I really appreciated knowing everything was confidential. This organization is so important to the community because they provide a service that is generally not affordable to women in need.

Imagine for a moment...
I'm Jennifer, Founder and CEO.
Through my experience of divorce, the loss of a child, and single parenting, I gained deep insight into the needs of women going through major life transitions.
I worked 20+ years as a CFO/CEO and I loved my business career. But I felt called to DO MORE to support women as they faced major life challenges and doing it completely alone.
I quit my corporate job and founded The Center for Help and Hope to make professional coaching services available to women without sufficient financial resources.
That strong urge to help, to do more… it is a calling. But you don’t have to quit your job to have an impact. Everyone can afford to give something.
What you may think is small can make a BIG difference in helping women and families turn their trials into triumph.
Testimonials from our Service Community

I have come to think of my coach as ‘my light.’ Her support and guidance have given me such a different outlook on life and how to handle difficult situations. Without her help I would still be in the same pain I was in for so many years. Now I have peace of mind and heart. I'm so grateful and thankful. She literally saved my life.

My experience with my coach has been amazing! She creates an environment where it’s easy to freely express your thoughts and insecurities. I sought help about an issue that had been weighing on me for some time, and I’m so glad I did. She was able to help me clear my thoughts and create a path for success! I never felt judged when talking with her, only encouraged and enlightened.

I cannot say enough about how much this service has helped me through one of the most challenging times of my life. As a hospice nurse, I thought I understood grief, but losing my husband brought a level of pain and loneliness I wasn't prepared for. This program became a lifeline when I needed it most.

This program really helped me.. it's much easier to manage my emotions. Before I was miserable and now have hope! I feel as though I completed a very painful grief cycle.
Cindy C.
My coach has an amazing capacity to create a safe environment for exploring painful things in our lives. I really felt like I could share anything with her because of the empathetic way she builds trust. Her process is flexible enough that you can take time to feel through your experiences and also structured enough to give a sense of progress. I was surprised how much lighter I felt by the end of the program.

Since working with my coach, I have found myself living with a different outlook on life. Learning to move forward in a healthy way and having a better understanding of how to face challenges.
Judy C.
It's very hopeful knowing that it's ok not to be ok and that 4 years later I've still carried deep grief. I am finding it easier to cope with things not having to do it alone! Just knowing I can talk to someone who doesn't even know me personally and put all the feelings together that I have, helping me through it all, it's a God's send!

I am getting to where I can put the pieces back together. There are holes, but I will have a happy, productive life.
Mindy A.
Since receiving grief coaching, I have begun to feel a sense of hope that I will again reach a "normal" in my life. I realize that though this normal will be different, it can be good. I continue to work through the realization that my partner will not return, and that I can find a life without him going forward.
Program Recipients say "Thank You!"
Mindy A.
I would like to thank the donors. Without their generosity, I would not be as far "down the road" as I am. I would not have the feeling of hope that I am now experiencing. Without their donation, I would not be able to afford this help, and I will forever be grateful.

I want to say thank you so very much. My son died a horrific death. Due to faith and your generous gift, I'm able to continue to heal and know that God is for me and not against me. I pray one day soon I'll be able to help others as well through their grief and sorrow.
Judy C.
I could not have afforded this without your donation! For 4 years I have been looking for help but I couldn't afford it. You don't know how many people you have helped! Or maybe you do, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart and may God bless you all indeed. Thank you again!

I was thinking about getting help dealing with my grief but kept putting it off. Everyone was encouraging me to get help. When the scholarship became available, it was the push and opportunity I needed. I would not have pursued it without the scholarship. Thank you!

Thank you so much. I'm so grateful to be able to receive this assistance. This program has helped me to stay above water. Without it, I truly believe I wouldn't be in the place I am. Losing a child is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. I'm truly blessed to have been able to get the help I needed not only for myself but for my family as well. We've all begun to heal together. Thank you again.
