Erica is a 14 year old girl with special needs. She has both Mitochondrial disease along with Macrophage Activation Syndrome, which means she is constantly fighting off infections. Erica spends over 14 hours a day indoors because of medication requirements and her feeding tube. Having a safe place for her to play at home was a dream for her family. Because of Erica’s size and being immunocompromised, children’s playgrounds were too small and dangerous for her. HopeServeAction Foundation stepped in and gifted Erica a custom designed playset right in her own backyard. Her beautiful smile says it all!

Amy was diagnosed with lymphoma in July of 2021. She underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Although she has insurance, it has a high deductible each year and that, coupled with her inability to work during treatment, meant her family was in need of financial assistance. During this difficult time, HopeServeAction Foundation helped Amy recover financially. She is now back at work part-time, hoping to return to full time hours soon.

The first recipient of the HopeServeAction Foundation is Darcy. After hearing her story, we helped Darcy and her family by giving them a amazing beach trip. Because she is still vulnerable to large crowds, a small, private trip meant the world to them. We are thrilled to see Darcy playing hard in the sand and enjoying life! We also plan to help them with an additional gift or celebration once she completes Chemotherapy in September of 2022.
