rk of Hope For Children in High Springs, Florida is building a Christian based community providing homes of hope for siblings from U.S. Domestic Orphan Care. All of the children in our care will be children that were previously abused and neglected children from the Florida foster care system. In foster care siblings stay together 30% of the time or less and children bounce to 4-6 homes per year! We are a nonprofit 501c3 organization that will bring them stability, unconditional loving care and real hope for a bright and positive future!
-
Our unique group foster care facility for siblings is designed to keep siblings together while in foster care; provide focused and personalized tutoring and mentoring support; stop children from bouncing from home to home and equip our children and youth with our "Transitions" life skills training that will truly prepare them for bright futures. By modeling Christ-like unconditional love and focused support we will break the chains of past abuse and guide each child into lives filled with faith, hope and love.
