Thank you, Donors, For Sharing the Hope in Holoprosencephaly

We at Families for HoPE are sincerely thankful for the donations received last week during “Send the Love,” the micro-giving campaign by Scott Swan and WTHR Channel 13 (NBC) in Indianapolis.

We were honored to be spotlighted as the designated charity for the campaign January 27th through 31st, during which 80 Central Indiana donors gave $5 to $515. The campaign raised $2,675 in support of our mission to empower, educate, support and advocate for all holoprosencephaly families.

“We are thankful to Scott Swan and WTHR Channel 13 and we thank each and every person who contributed to exceeding our campaign goal,” said Families for HoPE Board President Steve Harley. “The outpouring of community support for our mission is heartwarming and inspiring.”
Families for HoPE is the only parent-led organization for families touched by holoprosencephaly worldwide. We support families in Indiana, throughout the United States, and 75 other countries. Each year, Families for HoPE connects more than new 100 families to a compassionate, supportive community of their peers. Our online support community includes 3,200 members and followers on social media.

“The work we do would not be possible without the support of the communities we serve,” said Arika Gates, Board Treasurer. “Every donation counts and every donor’s support is greatly appreciated.”

Families for HoPE has supported children, caregivers and families touched by holoprosencephaly from birth to bereavement since 2006.
