Children Do Not Need Another Institution – They Need a Family
Every day, children in Palm Beach are abused, neglected, or left with nowhere to go. Siblings are torn apart. Young people age out of foster care without support. Survivors of trafficking face an uncertain future.
At Place of Hope, we do things differently.
We do not warehouse children—we build families. We surround young people with care, connection, and the tools to thrive. From stable housing and therapy to job training and mentorship, our programs help them reclaim their future and live with dignity.
The Dear Someone Project
A Real, Compassionate Solution That Puts Children First
For over 25 years, Place of Hope has been a safe haven for thousands of children, youth, and families across South Florida. Our faith-based, trauma-informed approach keeps siblings together, equips aged-out youth for success, and helps survivors heal and rebuild their lives.
You are not just giving — you are transforming futures.

Rooted in Family. Driven by Hope. Powered by You.
Your support keeps siblings together, restores futures, and surrounds children with the love and stability they deserve—through our programs:
The Stakes Are Too High to Ignore
Without intervention, vulnerable children are left to navigate trauma alone.
They are separated from their siblings.
They fall prey to homelessness, abuse, or trafficking.
They age out of the system with no family, no job, and nowhere to turn.
But it does not have to be this way.
With your support, Place of Hope offers something different—something lasting.
A home.
A family.
A future filled with safety, healing, education, and opportunity.
Your involvement does not just help one child — it breaks the cycle for generations to come.
