Mission Statement
Beyond the darkness there is a Light and comfort for our broken hearts. HOPE is a ministry for mothers who are grieving the loss of their unborn baby. We strive to be the tangible love of Christ; to offer continued care and to share in the hope that comes only through Christ Jesus.
Why HOPE Was Created
This ministry began out of the grief of two mothers, Kati Riggott and Allison Loftus. Each experienced the tragic loss of miscarriage in 2007 and in the midst of that loss felt a calling to create something good.
It is our prayer that many grieving mothers will find physical and spiritual comfort, peace and hope through this ministry.
About this Ministry
