STORY

testimonials

Lives are changed at Hope Remains Ranch through renewed hope, emotional breakthroughs, and stronger relationships.

“We’re in a day and age where kids are in a constant spiritual warfare and the pressures they are under are so different from when I was a kid. I reached a stage in parenting where I felt Liam needed additional guidance from someone other than his mother. I reached out to Church at the Mill for guidance and they directed me to Hope Remains. I spoke with Kelly who told me about Mane Event for Liam but also the parent portion, Stable Care.

Liam has also enjoyed his time with his mentor, Mr. Phil and even the other mentors and children he’s been able to interact with. Having kindness shown by complete strangers, and volunteers at that, is amazing.”

"I just wanted to report that Peirce has had a great summer. He’s had lots of smiles and laughs. We’ve made great memories, and we are so thankful for God’s care for Pierce over the recent months. We are also excited for what He has in store for Pierce. It feels good to anticipate the future eagerly rather than anxiously. What you all do is so amazing, and I pray for blessings over Hope Remains Ranch and staff this year."
