This Is Why We Do This Work

Last night was one of those moments that truly defines why we do this work at Carly’s Hope.

We had the honor of awarding a grant to an incredible foster mother who is in the process of adopting a 13-year-old boy. This funding will help her secure a home with enough space to welcome her new son, removing a critical barrier and allowing her to move forward with the adoption process.

This is exactly what Carly’s Hope was created to do: step in at pivotal moments and provide meaningful support to families who are opening their hearts and homes to children in need.

Adoption is not just an emotional journey—it is a financial one. For many families, even small gaps in funding can delay or prevent a child from finding the permanency and stability they deserve. We believe no family should have to face those challenges alone.

As founders, moments like this remind us why we started Carly’s Hope. Seeing the direct impact of our mission on a family’s adoption journey is both humbling and inspiring.

We could not be more proud of our dedicated board members, volunteers, donors, and supporters who make moments like this possible. Your commitment is changing lives, one family at a time. Every event, every sponsorship, every donation, and every hour volunteered helps create opportunities for families to grow through adoption.

This is what we work for.

This is what we believe in.

And because of your support, we are helping make forever families possible.

With gratitude,

Lori & Tim Mader
