Why Hope Mommies is Different

I feel the need to reiterate the mission of Hope Mommies. There are too many support groups out there that do nothing more than support laziness in healing (ie: "Do whatever is best for you/makes you feel better/etc."), and Hope Mommies is not one of them. A support group should be about coming alongside a deeply wounded, theologically shattered person and pointing them to the Truth.

And we believe that what you believe about God is the only thing that matters when your child ...

Why Give to Hope Mommies? {And a Giveaway!}

It is estimated that one in four pregnancies will end in loss. I had been aware of the statistic for a long time, but I always assumed that most of these losses occur in countries where there isn’t easy access to affordable health care. Surely, with all of the medical advancements we have in the United States, baby loss could not be that common. Then, in May of 2014, I watched the monitor as the sonographer told me that my baby’s heart was no longer beating. My heart ached knowing that I would not be able to watch this sweet baby grow. Eight months later, I was in the emergency room delivering another precious baby. She too was not long for ...
