You guys are nothing but a bunch of awesome God sent souls

Molly Chetty

Our senior citizens and paraplegics are neglected, forgotten and neglected. These were people that were breadwinners in their prime but now treated as if they are worthless.

The Ladies of Hope restore their dignity through care. Every community needs an organization like this. We must not lose our humanity.

Well done to the Ladies of Hope.
