“We are impressed with and deeply grateful for your years of dedication and service to this community. We don’t need villages and buildings named after us. You have created a legacy through your service, and we want to name this village and building in honor of that legacy.”

The Boswell Family
“Place of Hope provides loving, safe, enriching care for vulnerable youth transforming our community for the better. Place of Hope has grown into a multifaceted outreach that shelters and guides children through some of their most trying times and stays with them throughout their formative years.”

The Morgridge Family Foundation
“Place of Hope is so special for many reasons, from the work they do to the lives they change is enough reason to invest,” said Morgridge. “Then you look at their data, and you have to think WOW! We have been begging them to expand into our area because we have the same issues or even worse in Martin County,” said Morgridge. “For years we’ve been going down to Palm Beach to see their other campuses, to invest in their work, and we couldn’t be more excited to see them grow into Martin County. We’ve been involved with Place of Hope for nearly a decade and have just watched them grow and excel. The work they do to set up our families and kids aging out of foster care for success is incredible.”

Amy and Mike Kazma
“I look at my own kids and I know at 18, they certainly weren't prepared to be self-sufficient and find their way in the world on their own. That’s what these kids in foster care have to do when they age out at 18. If there aren't organizations like Place of Hope, then they're not going to have great success, I feel, because the odds are really stacked against them, especially in this area where it's an extremely expensive place to live.”

Kathleen and Tom Lane
“In a world of hurt, love brings healing. We are grateful to Place of Hope for impacting the hearts and minds of the next generation.”

Katharine and Scott Moss
“I have always thought that we are called to make the world a better place and make it better for somebody that doesn’t have the opportunities that we have. The youth at Place of Hope are not only vulnerable, but they are also our future.”

Jo Ann and Philip Procacci
“We feel so fortunate for what our kids have and it’s troubling to know what so many kids don’t have. So many people need help to start out in life. We are fortunate to be in a position to help. It is something we want to do.”

Debbie and Dru Schmitt
“Place of Hope is successfully solving one of society’s most intractable problems with a perfect balance of caring, planning, execution, and vision.”

Kim and Sal Tiano, “God’s Children. Our Future. Campaign” Chairman
“Place of Hope has changed our family’s life dramatically. We are so grateful for Place of Hope and so very proud to support such an amazing organization. Will went from homelessness to earning his master’s in social work and has dedicated his life to helping other foster children.”

Smith Brothers Family Foundation

The Warren Family Foundation
“Place of Hope is doing something impressive that we had never seen before, providing housing, college help, transportation and support to get these kids jobs in a foundational lifestyle so they can properly join society.”

Cherie and John Arscott
“One thing that impressed us when we first came to Place of Hope was their commitment to setting goals for the children. They are not simply given everything; they have specific benchmarks they must achieve. This resonates with us personally.”

Susan and Peter Brockway
“You can see the difference you can make in the lives of these youth. Their stories and testimony are eye opening. You know about it, you read about it, but it’s truly inspiring when you hear someone’s personal journey coming from their lips. Place of Hope gives them a safe place to live, a place where their children are safe. Without that they would be focused on survival, instead of putting together a life plan whether through work or education.”

Gary Peters Family Foundation
“We are establishing residential homes for young adults in safe and nurturing environments, helping those with the least opportunity find fulfillment by becoming productive members of society.”

Marshall E. Rinker Foundation
“For us the magnet was children. First the adorable little ones, now young adults who are lost. We are working to help them find their way.” –Drs. Leighan and David Rinker
