Tim & Penny Hope Fundraiser

Donation protected
Hi! I am the daughter of Tim and Penny Hope. One of 4 children. I felt lead to make this fundraiser for my parents bc they could really just use a break. My Daddy adopted me, my sister and my brother as his own after meeting my mamma who was raising us on her own.  They had a daughter together. My daddy built us a home in Iowa, and then we moved to Missouri.  My parents have sacrificed and sacrificed for their children. Making sure we are okay above all else. Then as we grew up, they continued to step up for their family. Standing in the gap for their grandchildren. No matter which grandchild it is they made sure they were okay. My older sisters 5 children lived with them for a long time. They provided a safe haven during their hard times and support. Now after years and years of hard work all 5 kids and my sister are thriving now! They stood in the gap many times for caden <my son>, when he had heart surgery as a baby, when we needed support or help they are there for me as a working single mom to help with Caden. For about 8 years they've been raising their grandchild Braxton who has autism. Braxton has been with then from the beginning. They don't recieve any of the disability help that families would get if they were his legal guardian for a disabled child but they have absolutely loved that boy with everything. Then over the last couple of years they added 3 more boys <Braxtons siblings> to the mix caring for them, instead of the three being split into a foster care system. All boys are under 8 years old. They yet again financially took on the responsibilities that came with raising 4 young children as grandparents full time. They had to buy a larger home, get a larger car, lose jobs and search for jobs that can work with kids childcare schedules. They have always always always had to sacrifice every penny they have bc they refuse to give up on their family. I just want to give them the opportunity to breathe. Finally. Maybe have a date night, a break. Maybe get to use the funds to adopt Braxton, or have a cushion to feel safe with again. My parents deserve to have everything, because they've spent their life giving their children and grandchildren everything they have. If you feel lead to support them,  I'd like to just suprise them with this little gift of love. They never never ever ask for hand outs or help ever. But they have always given their last penny to help those in need. I hope this can give some hope back into their cup and be reminded that they too are loved,  seen and supported. Love you both so much, you deserve the world. I hope this little bit of help can remind you just how much you impacted the path of those beautiful boys lives by adopting them as your own. ❤️
