Hope Foundation AL Inc
The Hope Foundation AL, Inc. was formed in November of 2017 to provide assistance to individuals and families in needs within the local community as well as abroad. This organization was founded and operates on the basis of true altruistic giving from individuals around the country. They are funded strictly by grants and donations and operate by volunteer services at this time.
The Hope Foundation AL Inc make quilts for children in NICU for local area hospitals, quilts for local children group homes, quilts for new mothers currently in socioeconomic distress, as well as Dresses for Little Girls in Africa. In addition, this organization provides comfort to families who have recently experienced the loss of a loved one by turning their T-shirts into a beautiful quilt to be enjoyed for many years to come. In addition to quilts, we make small pillows and dolls using T-shirts and dress shirts of individuals loved ones.
Veronica Singleton shared “My brother was killed in 06/2016 by a drunk driver. I spent many months after his death being heartbroken and lost. As an avid quilter, I am in many Facebook quilting groups. There was a post in one of my groups that requested dresses for Little Girls in Haiti. So I agreed to make a dress. After I made the first dress, I made another, and another, and another, until I had made 25 dresses. When I am at my sewing machine making dresses, quilts, pillows, or dolls for other individuals who are suffering, I get a form of peace knowing that I am able to bring some comfort to someone who is in need, someone who is hurting, someone who is lost. This is why I choose to keep the foundation functioning strictly on a volunteer basis. It is not about payment or a salary, it is ALL about helping others.”
