My Nonprofit Reviews

Wow, where to begin on what Ragan's HOPE has done for my family... My son Brody has been in and out of the hospital since he was born. He was born in renal failure and has had many secondary complications, but daily he proves he has a strong will through and through!

Ragan's HOPE came into my life a little over a year ago from our palliative care doctor. My son was in the hospital and very sick and his birthday party was fast approaching. I was feeling the pressure and Ragan's HOPE came to the rescue! They organized the cake, helped me plan all the decorations, and they have been there for us continually over the past year.

We have faced very scary situations with my son and Ragan’s HOPE has been there through it all. Sometimes it’s with a phone call during his surgery to take my mind off the present circumstances or being able to confide in someone who doesn’t judge me when I say

“I am scared about the future of my child...” Other times it’s a visit from a volunteer just to say hello and hug your neck, just knowing that someone is praying for your family, or a surprise meal delivery after eating the same food in the hospital cafeteria for weeks.

I could go on and on about how Ragan's HOPE has become my extended family. I can’t say “thank you” enough to Ragan's HOPE... but from the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you have done and continue to do for me and my family. I honestly am blessed to have met each and every one of you.
