Our Story

How it all started...

A young pregnant teen came into my life during a season when she needed guidance and support. After giving birth, her situation became increasingly unstable, and there was a real risk of her and her baby being separated. My husband and I stepped in to provide a safe and loving home, which eventually led to adoption. What began as an effort to help one young mother revealed a deeper need in our community—a lack of resources for teen moms with nowhere to turn. That gap in support was the spark that ignited Cradle of Hope NWA.  

Expanding the vision...

Expanding the vision of Cradle of Hope NWA involves broadening our reach and impact to serve more young families in need. By enhancing our programs and resources, we aim to provide comprehensive support that includes housing, education, and counseling services. Our goal is to establish a network of community partners and stakeholders to strengthen our efforts and create a sustainable model of care. Through these expansions, we aspire to ensure that every parent in Northwest Arkansas has access to the resources and support necessary for a successful and hopeful future. 

Where we are headed...

Looking ahead, Cradle of Hope NWA is focused on growing our capacity to support more  families across Northwest Arkansas. We plan to expand our facilities and services, introduce innovative programs tailored to the evolving needs of all parents, with a great focus on teens, and build strategic partnerships with local organizations and businesses. Our vision includes creating a dedicated center that offers a range of resources, from housing to career development, ensuring that every mother and child receives the comprehensive support they need to thrive. Through these efforts, we aim to become a cornerstone of hope and stability in our community.
