Review for Inheritance of Hope , Atlanta, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My daughters volunteered at a retreat for Inheritance of Hope, and their experience had a tremendous impact on their lives. The attention to detail for each family attending, the depth of care for each individual, and the professional approach to each particular aspect of the retreat are all exceptional. Families who face the challenge of a parent with a life-threatening illness are finding a much needed dose of hopefulness through the services of Inheritance of Hope. My daughters are already working hard to volunteer at another retreat.

Review for Inheritance of Hope , Atlanta, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Inheritance of Hope is a wonderful example of beauty rising out of ashes. I have observed Kristen Milligan's battle against cancer, and her determination to live and see her children have memories of her life. With Deric (who is my brother) at her side, she has maintained a remarkbly optimistic outlook with each treatment, each hurdle, each scan, each setback.

Their desire to give other families a chance to spend time simply playing together, without the cares of costs or planning, and away from the stress of the medical mayhem, has been realized through Inheritance of Hope. The organization is well organized, and tightly run, and sets a high standard for non-profits. The seemingly carefree retreat provides an opportunity for parents to create and keep memories of a happy time together, and for children to be children.
What a great concept!

Inheritance of Hope is a solid option for those looking to financially support a family-based, simple and single-goaled organization which is definitely getting the job done. IOH is fulfilling its mission in allowing every family to leave a legacy.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

It has been a joy to see the idea from its conception to its fulfillment. IOH has been a great way for Deric and Kristen to turn the challenges of dealing with a verious serious disease while raising young children, into an outlet for assisting other families with similar challenges. It has also been a joy to see the pragmatic and organizational skills which both Deric and Kristen possess, take shape in this organization.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

expand the opportunity for the retreats to include families with children over 18, such as college aged children.
