When my husband passed away, I immediately found the need to find someplace to help me get through it. Cornerstone was just that place.
I knew that I wanted to give whatever I could to the place that helped give me hope again, just like my sister, Camie, with the kind heart would have done. God allowed everything to come full circle.
I went through one year in a very deep spiritual valley. However, one Sunday morning, I woke up while in College and realized that something was missing. Something was different in my heart.
Cornerstone of Hope has embarked on the Building Hope Capital Campaign to expand our campus by 12,000 square feet. An adjacent building will be demolished and in its place a new one will be constructed, linked to our main campus facility by a pedestrian walkway. The new space will enable us to offer the specialized programs and services needed for grieving clients. Your gift to the Building Hope Capital Campaign will make an enduring impact on the community.
