Gift of Hope
Today we are launching a new area of ministry at Hope Mommies: Gift of Hope. Medical bills for a baby you did not bring home, or who came home and did not stay, can be a shockingly unexpected reminder of what should have been. While we can’t change the painful reality of your circumstances, we hope to come alongside you and help ease this financial burden as you begin to face life without your dearly loved baby. Through the Gift of Hope we are offering financial assistance to help cover medical bills of babies who have died.

Lauren’s Story
My husband and I were married on a crisp, sunny autumn day in October of 2006. As I saw my beloved standing at the altar, I knew I was walking towards my forever future. After we declared our love and commitment to each other in front of our dearest family and friends, we grinned our way up the aisle to Dean Martin singing, “Good morning life! Good morning sun! How are your skies above? Gee, it's great to be alive and in love!” As we danced up the aisle to these words, my twenty-year-old heart soared with possibilities of a beautiful future filled with sunny days and ...

Streams in the Desert {Part 1}
The Desert
It was a suffocating emptiness from which I couldn’t escape. The barrenness of my womb; the silence in her nursery; the bleak look in my husband’s eyes. It was everywhere. Though I was rarely left by myself in those first few days and weeks, I felt unmoored and distant from all who were around me. Life had lost it’s brilliance when her life ended.
The guttural cries of the biblical poets echoed my own:
“My God, my God! Why have you forsaken me?” -Matthew 27:46
“I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of his wrath; he has ...

Jessi’s Story
2019 was a hallmark year for our family. We began the year taking in the fact that God had given us twins. Yes, two babies at one time! This news came as a shock to our family. As we praised God for the double blessing, we wondered how we would manage caring for two toddlers and two infants, but we loved these babies from the start. God powerfully delivered us from our fears as we meditated on His promises, such as, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” ...
