Jeremiahs Hope Inc

My name is Larry Davis of Cleburne, TX. I have been to Jeremiah's Hope two times in 2012 and 2013 and I will be going this year2015 for three weeks. I believe this is one of the best camps I have worked at. Andrew and Jenny Kelly do a great job over seeing the camp. They spend all the money very wisely and thrifty . They treat each child as a special person. I look forward to seeing this camp grow and reaching out to more and more children each year.

I have been a supportive donor of Jeremiah's Hope since early days and have visited their camp in Ukraine three times. I have seen the children that JH has helped — the ones without shoes, steady sources of heating or food, or the regular presence of loving parents. Jeremiah's hope provides a beacon of hope to this struggling, rural area of Ukraine where there is little in the way of community support or other government services to help impoverished children. It is impressive what the organization achieves with modest support.

They are a transparent, kindhearted, mission-driven organization that does real, on-the-ground work with the needy and suffering.

I have personally worked with Jeremiah's Hope and the Kelly family many times while living in Ukraine. I know that they use every penny possible to help the underserved and desperately needy people in this country. The tireless energy that the Kelly's and their volunteers put into this mission is amazing. Their hearts for the children and adults they work with are large and they serve with respect and love. We now donate as much as possible to help with this tremendous ministry.

I have been a volunteer with Jeremiah's Hope during summers for five years. I have witnessed the caring and love for the children and the people of Ukraine from this organization. For them, it is not just about short-term interventions, but also about building lasting relationships. The leaders and staff have been unrelenting in serving those in the communities they have made commitments to, while at the same time being open and available to care for those in need of a place to go during the current crisis. Jeremiah's Hope is an organization that truly strives to meet the needs of those they encounter on a daily basis.

While in Ukraine during a difficult adoption process the Kelly family reached out and ministered to us in a variety of ways. They offered translation assistance, candid advice on what to expect during the process, and most importantly, some much welcomed respite and fellowship while in country. We were able to stay at their camp in Kolentsi on two separate occasions over a 6-week period. During that time my wife and I got to know them personally. We joined them on a few of their ministry initiatives, spoke with other volunteers, and even got to see firsthand some of their organizational processes. We came away from the experience with some close friends and great confidence in their mission, strategies, and effectiveness in ministry. Their long tenure in country has afforded them a great deal of experience in a culture that they not only love but have adopted wholeheartedly.

Since the experience my family has been able to support them financially and prayerfully. As a minister I hope to rejoin them in their efforts in the future by leading a team of mission volunteers to serve at their camp. We recommend Jeremiah's Hope without any reservation.

We work alongside the leadership of Jeremiah's Hope, Inc. as volunteers in Ukraine, being often at the camp location and assisting with their ministry when we can. We have rarely seen the effectiveness and wisdom of strategy and caring exemplified by the JH team. Many organizations talk a lot and do very little to impact real needs in people's lives in Jesus' name. Not so with JH; their reach into the poorest and most desperate lives of children, dysfunctional families, refugees and more is faithful, regular, creative, prayerful and a good example to us all.

Jeremiah's Hope does an incredible job mobilizing resources to best serve the Ukrainian people. The number of people and organizations around the globe who are passionate about & supporting the work they do is a testament to the mission of Jeremiah's Hope. While the mission is focused on at-risk youths, Andrew, Jenny, and the ministry team are quick to respond to the needs that are dynamic and constantly changing. The current unrest in Eastern Ukraine has brought in unprecedented changes and from the start, Jeremiah's Hope was actively seeking and creating ways to serve refugees and soldiers.

I've been most impressed with the commitment Jeremiah's Hope has to children. We can't change the world, but by investing in children we can change the next generation within a community. The Sasha Project kids have nothing and could likely become just like their parents and grandparents and never fully break the cycle of alcoholism and poverty. But I do not believe that will be the case. Change starts at the grassroots and Jeremiah's Hope recognizes the value of these kids who will be the next generation and seeks to provide them with lasting hope.

Jeremiah's Hope is an organization that truly meets it's mission. Having visited their facilities on several occasions I have seen first hand the level of care and quality service JH provides.

The staff truly has a heart for kids, families, and those who are hurting. During the recent crisis in Ukraine JH has actively partnered with many different groups and organizations to meet some of the most challenging situations in the world.

This organization is on task and financially responsible. It is always a pleasure to work with them.

Jeremiah's Hope, Andrew and Jenny Kelly, and the board members have quietly gone about the task of making the lives of so many Ukrainians better, through continued support physically, emotionally, socially and as mentors of a better life style. The social services of the country have immense confidence in the organization to be ready to help them with "providing a secure environment especially for the helpless, the children, of the nation". 'Even now there are refugees of the war at the facility. I would encourage anyone who wants to be involved in helping the children of the world to get involved with this organization. Andrew Kelly, CEO is above reproach concerning the operating of Jeremiah's Hope.
