We opened the doors to Hope 4 All Halfway Inc. on May 8, 2010 we accepted our first client on this date. We bought the house on April 14, 2010 and when we purchased the house it needed a lot of renovations. We used our own personal money to renovate the house and spent our money in trying to buy beds, linen, air conditioners, and other items to get the house up and running. We also accepted clients that did not have any resources and we covered all their needs such as shelter, food and clothing.
On June 14, 2010 Hope 4 All Halfway Inc. got incorporated with through the state of Tennessee. We are a Christian based incorporated non-profit organization.
We provide shelter, food, and personal items for these residents. We transport them to all their appointments. We provide 3 meals a day and a snack. We provide residents with cigarettes who are not able to buy their own. We have various people to come in and speak to the group. We do give each individual client one on one time to discuss personal issues or problems they might have.
We are coming to you today to ask you to please assist us or help us in continuing this vision for Hope 4 All Halfway Inc. Proverbs 16:3 says “Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plan will succeed.”
It would be greatly appreciated if you could assist us to help us to achieve the goal that the Lord has laid on our hearts.
Any information you need from us we can provide receipts and documents to show what we have put into Hope 4 All Halfway Inc. to try and get it up and running.
I hope and pray that we can count on your support to help Hope 4 All Halfway as we continue on this journey to try and help men and women regain hope who have given up along life’s journey.
