WE BELIEVE YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! HERE IS HOW!

​

1- Support the families who are already fostering and adopting. Without a community to support, pray and encourage these families their journey can easily get derailed leaving another child to wonder if they are WANTED OR LOVED.

​

2- Support our efforts to change the laws keeping kids in Foster Care for 4-5-6 years! God has honored our prayer to Lift the Voice of the Modern Orphan and allowed Ignite Hope to have the ear of Federal and State lawmakers as they seek to find answers to a broken child welfare system. Getting these laws changed is a 5-10 year process that we are committed to, but we can't do it alone! There will be many days at the State Capitol and Travel to Washington D.C., please consider joining us on this journey through a monthly donation.

​

3- Support the plan to partner with 15 churches(in 2026) in Atlanta area. We will strategically identify 15 churches, create a partnership, then we will provide trauma based parent training, prayer support training, education materials and recruitment of new foster and adoptive families and the support teams that will create SUCCESS STORIES for KIDS THAT NEED A LOVING HOME!

​

For less than a cup of coffee at your typical fast food establishment - YOU can bring HOPE to a CHILD IN NEED OF A LOVING HOME!

​

Not Possible you say! It is Possible we say - Because God says Nothing is impossible with Him!

1) For $1 a day($30)- Your spare change will provide support for one family walking out a adoptive/foster or kinship care journey for a 2 weeks.

​

2) For $2 a day($60) - Your support will fuel our Advocacy in Action Program for one Month. You will be a Champion for Kids in Care (foster/adoption) Raising Their Voice to State and Federal lawmakers to change the laws keeping kids from loving families.

​

3) For $3 a day($90)- You can share God's instructions "to take care of children who have no parents" (James 1:27) with 15 churches in 2026 and utilize the size of each congregation to provide homes, prayer warriors, and emotional, financial, meal support to the families investing in children's lives.

Jacqui’s passion is advocating legislatively and within the church on the ways we as a community can improve the lives of the Modern Orphan. She and her husband, Jeff, founded Ignite Hope with a vision of connecting strategic prayer with orphan care.
