Our VISION
Hanging On To Hope envisions a world where survivors and those still held captive by abuse and trauma experience freedom, healing, and restoration, as we passionately live out the call of Jesus in Matthew 25:35–40 to care for the hurting and the vulnerable.
Hanging On To Hope is passionate about bringing hope, healing, and freedom to survivors of spiritual, physical, and emotional abuse and neglect by living out the call of Jesus. We do this through collaboration with trusted nonprofits and experts in the field of abuse and trauma, advocacy, education, and the Hanging On To Hope Podcast—helping facilitate healing and set captives free.
We are seeking corporate sponsors to partner with us in our goal to open a shelter in the East Valley. Hanging Onto Hope and other Phoenix nonprofits are collaborating to provide an emergency shelter for abuse victims and their families.

We know that many churches struggle with the knowledge and experience needed to support Domestic Abuse victims. We want to be a resource to provide education and support to your congregation when needed.
Please help our Emergency Advocacy Fund!

- Food and water
- Gift cards or gas cards
- Clothing
- Emergency housing
- Therapy
- Emergency travel, rental, or deposit assistance
