Abundance of Hope Center
Abundance of Hope Center was founded by a Black woman who was forced to navigate through the social service community while being homeless and trying to escape a domestic violence situation with her children. During this harrowing journey, she was subjected to and witnessed an alarming amount of unjust, mentally damaging, racist, and insidious actions and attitudes inflicted on Black and Brown children. Seeing hundreds of children slipping through the cracks, she knew she had to stand up for them. Her lived experiences and passion for justice drive the mission of Abundance of Hope Center, making it a beacon of support and advocacy for those most in need
