Welcome

Circle of Hope provides support to families of children who have been diagnosed with a life threatening illness, and to families whose children have passed away during early infancy, from stillbirth or from life threatening illness. Life threatening illness in the family or the death of a child demands immediate and full attention yet it is often difficult for families to reach out and ask for help. Circle of Hope exists to lighten the strain and we urge any family that is facing a difficult situation to call. When your child receives the diagnosis of a life threatening illness or passes away you may feel confused, sad, fearful, and angry, all at the same time. You may not even know what questions to ask or where to turn for help. Though you may feel very alone at this time, it is important to know that, you are not alone. Many have been through similar circumstances and Circle of Hope is here to help you. If you would like more information or know of a family who needs help, please contact us. We are supported by donations and all services are provided at no cost to the family.
