An Update from GenerationsHope ❤️

After more than 10 years of serving teen moms and their children in our community, GenerationsHope is entering a new season.

Danielle and I have made the difficult decision to pause our GenerationsHope meetings for this year. After more than a decade of leading this ministry, we both feel that it is time to make more room to be present for our own children and their increasingly busy schedules and needs.

This decision is bittersweet.

We are incredibly grateful for the many years we have had to walk alongside young moms and their babies and children. What began as a ministry has become a collection of relationships that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We have celebrated births and birthdays, graduations and milestones, walked through difficult seasons, prayed together, laughed together, and watched these young families grow.

We are so thankful to everyone in our community who has supported GenerationsHope over the years through donations, encouragement, prayer, volunteering, and simply believing in these young families. You helped make this ministry possible. ❤️

As we pause our meetings, we will also no longer be accepting donations for GenerationsHope. We still have some diapers and other supplies available in our GenerationsHope shed for the moms and families we have served, and we will continue to help with those resources as long as they are available.

If you have items you would have normally donated to GenerationsHope, we encourage you to consider blessing another local organization serving families in need. Love INC of Staunton, Waynesboro, Love INC of Staunton, Augusta, Waynesboro has a donation center in Fishersville, and ComfortCare Women’s ComfortCare Women's Health - Staunton serves women and families throughout our area. Please check directly with either organization regarding their current donation needs and policies before dropping anything off.

Most of all, we want our community to know that our love for these moms and their children has not ended. We are simply making space for our own families in this season.

GenerationsHope has been one of the greatest privileges of our lives, and we are deeply grateful for every person who has been part of the journey.

Thank you for loving these families with us for more than 10 years. ❤️

Imagine finding out you’re pregnant at 16 years old.

Imagine feeling scared, overwhelmed, and completely unsure what your future holds.

Imagine people around you pressuring you not to keep the baby because they believe your life will be ruined if you do.

Now imagine choosing love anyway.

Over 10 years ago, we sat with a frightened 16-year-old girl who was only 6 weeks pregnant and promised her something simple: We would walk alongside her…not just through her pregnancy, but through her child’s life too.

And she chose to fight for that life.

Over the last decade, we have watched her become one of the strongest, most resilient young women we know.

She raised her daughter largely on her own.

She lost both of her parents unexpectedly.

She lost her child’s father too.

She helped raise her younger brother while still trying to build a life for herself and her daughter.

She put college on hold multiple times, but refused to quit.

And in 2024, while grieving, working full time, and raising her daughter, she graduated college and became a teacher at local school.

For years, she has worked to rebuild her credit, create stability, and give her daughter the kind of future she once wasn’t sure was possible.

Now she is supposed to close on her very first home next week.

But just days before closing, a judgment tied to an old vehicle loan unexpectedly resurfaced, a debt she truly believed had been resolved years ago. Because of this, her lender cannot move forward with the mortgage until the judgment is cleared.

After everything it took to get here, she is heartbreakingly close to losing this opportunity.

The reality is that we likely have less than 24 hours to make a decision and help her settle the judgment needed for her to move forward with purchasing the home she and her daughter have dreamed about for years.

If you’d like to help, donations of any amount can be made here. Choose "GenerationsHope" in the dropdown menu and write "First Home" in the memo line.

Please take a moment to read this and consider helping...

There’s a young mom in our Generations Hope program who we’ve walked alongside for nearly 10 years, and she is *this close* to purchasing her very first home! 🏡

Over the last decade, we’ve watched her work unbelievably hard to build a stable life for herself and her daughter. She put herself through school, built a career as a teacher, improved her credit, parented her daughter on her own, helped raise her younger brother, and somehow kept moving forward through the loss of both of her parents and her child’s father.

She has fought so hard for this moment.

Unfortunately, an unexpected financial issue from her past has surfaced at the worst possible time and may jeopardize her ability to purchase the home.

We know times are hard for many right now, but if anyone may be willing to help in some way, or has resources/connections they think could help, please reach out to me privately. We’d love the chance to help her get over this final hurdle after all the work she’s done to create a better future for her family.

Sometimes one small act of support can change the trajectory of someone’s life. ✨

At GenHope we give out diapers, wipes and underwear at each meeting and we're running low on some! If you'd like to help support our ministry, check out our list here. You can sort by highest priority.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/Z9GRIQCIXOE8?ref_=wl_share

We'd also love some games for kids ages 4-8 to play while the moms hang out on our meal/fellowship nights!

The items will be shipped directly to our leaders but if you'd like to purchase items on your own and drop off at our church and meeting place, Holy Cross Presbyterian Church, that will work, too! The address is 216 Frontier Drive in Staunton. Just message us if you drop things off so we can get them moved inside. Thanks!

GenerationsHope’s spring meeting schedule is here. Our gatherings are open to young moms seeking support, connection, and encouragement — we’d love to welcome you this season. Please share with someone who may be interested!

🤍 Want to Help Support Young Moms + Your Community?

GenerationsHope is looking for volunteers to help with meals and childcare during our meetings.

Meals: Homemade or takeout — pizza, Chick-fil-A, subs… anything helps!

Childcare: More than just watching kids — playing, holding babies, reading books, and helping little ones feel safe, seen, and loved while their moms learn and grow.

We get a lot of support from Holy Cross Presbyterian Church but would to partner with other local churches, community members, high school students needing service hours, retired grandmas, and anyone with a heart to serve.

You don’t need special skills — just a willingness to show up.

👉 Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4FACA82DABF5C70-52016285-genhope #/

We couldn't do this without the partnership of our community! 🤍

One of our GenHope moms and her two kids had to relocate out of state suddenly and left with only the clothes they were wearing.

If you’re able, she could really use:
• simple outfits
• shoes
• a jacket
• diapers

Here’s an Amazon wishlist if you want to help in a tangible way. Thank you for being such a generous, caring community. 🤍

Our GenerationsHope moms are wrapping up another year of growth, challenges, and courage. While GenHope isn’t a charity, we do believe in supporting each other when life gets tough and a few of our moms could use a little extra help this Christmas.

If you’d like to purchase a gift for one of their children, we’ll share a simple wishlist. Your generosity would mean the world to these families!

Check out the lists below if you’d like to be part of blessing a mom and her kids this Christmas! 🎄💛
