Ragan's HOPE We give HOPE to Parents, Children and Families who are experiencing the difficulties that come when a child has medical issues and challenges.

What We Do:

For anyone who has ever experienced the pain of seeing a child endure medical issues, you understand how debilitating that can be. The rest of the world stops as you focus every breath on the health and welfare of that child. Every thought is poured into praying, wishing, and daring to hope that one day soon your child (and you) will be released from that pain, be able to come home, and experience a healthy life. This charitable ministry has pulled together an incredible team of volunteers globally to help support families who spend more time in a hospital waiting room than their own home. We are a 501(c)(3) organization, so any donations given to Ragan’s HOPE is tax deductible according to IRS rules and regulations. If you or someone you care about is going through a difficult time in regards to a child with medical issues, please contact us for prayer and support. Ragan’s Hope was created with the sole purpose in helping you not only endure but embrace your new normal.

If you would like to have a sense of satisfaction, knowing you have encouraged someone today... read on!

Part of what we do at Ragan's HOPE is to encourage families. One of the many things we do is to send cards to families. The families comment about this more than just about anything. To get a card from someone letting them know they have been prayed for and to read some words of encouragement mean the world to them.

So many have told me that the card they received came at just the right time.

About 2 times a month, I send a list of 7-10 names of families that could use some words of encouragement. The great thing about this part of what we do is that it can be done anytime. All you have to do is get some cards,(I get mine from Dollar Tree), write a word or two to encourage them, and mail it off. If you only have time for a couple of cards, that is ok.

If you would like to know more about our card team, please let me know. I am happy to share more information with you.

Dear friends of Ragan’s HOPE Foundation,

Ragan’s Hope continues to reach out weekly to families navigating the challenges of caring for children with medical needs. This week, we have identified 5 families who could use immediate assistance with groceries.

If you feel led to help, there are several ways to make a direct impact:

• Order a Visa gift card online to help provide flexibility for groceries and essentials
• Select grocery items for direct delivery to a family
• If you would prefer, simply make a donation through Ragan’s Hope and we will make all arrangements

We estimate $100 per family to provide meaningful support during this week.

Sometimes the greatest gift is simply easing one burden so a family can focus on what matters most — caring for their child.

If you would like to help, please visit raganshope.com

Thank you for helping us continue to hope to families who need it most.
