Grant Me Hope is a nonprofit in Holland, MI whose mission is to find forever homes for older foster children before aging out of the foster care system and care & support for foster children who have aged out of the system and are now homeless.

“We are urgently looking for three sets of Christian House Parents & Mentors for the Three Grant Me Hope homes in Allegan County that we are working to open soon. These homes are being set up for children who have aged out of the Foster Care System and are now homeless. We are asking if you would be willing to share the attached documents for House Parents & Mentors with your congregation to help spread the word for these VERY IMPORTANT NEEDS.

If anyone would have any questions or interest please have them contact Homes Administrator Michael Wilkinson at MichaelW@grantmehope.org.”

In the wake of the massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Türkiye (Turkey) and Syria, families and entire communities are in urgent need of life-saving essentials and protection.
