Phone Number:

Organization Mission / Purpose:

Grant Me Hope's goal is to help foster children find loving adoptive homes.  We do this by producing TV Newsworthy videos of the children and airing them on partnering TV News stations and networks.
Since we have 25% aging out and homeless, we have opened homes to take them in. There they will have Christian House Parents and be partnered with a Christian Mentor. They will acquire their drivers license, find a job, open a checking/savings account, learn budgeting, learn life skills, save for transportation, and housing of their own, but will always have a "home" to come back too!

Opportunity Available:
