(This Foundation was created in the wake of our daughter’s fight in 2008). Each day a child is diagnosed with a severe illness, sustains a debilitating injury, and a family loses the battle with an illness. With these emergencies come unexpected expenses. The mission is to assist financially in times of crisis, when other organizations and insurance companies don't. HOPE Foundation provides financial and emotional support to families whose children are battling pediatric emergencies. Through fundraisers and the generous donations of our supporters we are able to provide financial assistance to families in 26 counties in southwest Missouri.

More than 10 million kids enter a children’s hospital like CoxHealth across North America every year. To provide the best care for kids, children’s hospitals rely on donations and community support, as Medicaid and insurance programs do not fully cover the cost of care. Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has helped fill those funding gaps by raising more than $7 billion, most of it $1 at a time through Miracle Balloon icon campaigns. Its various fundraising partners and programs support the nonprofit’s mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible. Help make miracles happen .

Our statement is to “create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.” The mission statement by this company emphasizes the commitment of the entire management and other stakeholders to do everything possible to help its beneficiaries realize their wishes. It is only possible with your support.

The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

To develop champions by creating a special bond between children with medical conditions and/or disabilities with local athletic teams as they inspire each other. Both athlete and child will learn from and inspire each other, creating a greater feeling of purpose that will impact our community and develop future leaders. The child will have the chance to be a part of a sports team and in return, the athletes will discover the benefits of helping others.
