…A Ray of Hope has definitely been that for me. A Ray of Hope and encouragement on this journey of raising our child with special needs. Knowing it is a safe place to go and share, listen and to learn from others as we all share similar struggles. I’m excited to see what God has in store for A Ray of Hope in touching families around us. Thank You for your hard work and dedication to our families.”

A Ray of Hope has been such a huge blessing for me! As a single mom, only parent and 24/7 caregiver I am thankful to have found online support as there have been days we couldn’t even leave our home due to my daughter’s uncontrolled seizures. I am blessed to be a part of something so much bigger than just a special needs mom. I have come to know hope again…from the hope that I get from all of the other warrior moms in the group. I know that we all pray, and care about one another and that makes this journey so much easier because I no longer feel so alone and lost. Thank You for allowing me to be a part of something so special! Also, you have given me courage to start a special needs parent support group at my home church. So very thankful!

ABOUT A Ray of Hope
Founded in 2017, A Ray of Hope Support Network’s mission is to provide support, resources and the Hope of Christ to Special Need families. A Ray of Hope was started when Founder Racquel Sommer saw that while there are many great local organizations for special need children (including her son) not many organizations offering support to the special need families raising a child with special needs. Along with the support groups, our vision is to take the models of the current support groups out to other churches and communities so they can be supporting the special need families in their communities. As well as, looking for ways to educate/consult/train churches on the need for special needs ministry. Please contact us today if you are interested in learning more.
UPCOMING EVENTS
A Ray of Hope Support Network is a Non-Profit that is run entirely dependent on a Volunteer Board, Volunteers for events and monetary donations to continue our support network for raising awareness and assistance for Special Needs Parents
