Life as a Cottage parent

When people think of a children’s home, they imagine Annie or Oliver Twist. But the real story is filled with love, laughter, responsibility, faith, and family.

At Hope, kids aren’t just cared for—they’re raised in a Christ-centered home environment by cottage parents who treat them like their own.

From morning devotions to homework help, family dinners, game nights, and bedtime prayers, life here looks a lot like a big, joyful family.

Behind every chore, every tradition, every bedtime story is a bigger purpose: raising responsible, Jesus-loving young people who can thrive in life—and, whenever possible, reunite with their families.

This is what a children’s home really looks like.
This is hope in action.
