Hope Is Everything: Inspiring Change Through Charitable Initiatives
Hope Is Everything 501(c)(3) is a nonprofit organization established in 2021 dedicated to providing support and resources to individuals and communities in need.
At Hope is Everything, our mission is to uplift and inspire hope for individuals and families facing adversity. We believe that working together can create a supportive community that empowers each person to overcome challenges and find strength in compassion.
Why "Hope Is Everything"?
Sarah’s life was a testament to love and courage. Sarah Elizabeth McCarty was a dynamic, loving, and compassionate 13-year-old who lived with Cystic Fibrosis. Despite her illness, she devoted her energy to uplifting others and finding joy in every moment. “Hope is Everything” were her final words, embodying her enduring optimism and generosity. From a young age, her mother Debra knew Sarah would need special care—a sacred responsibility she felt called to fulfill. Sarah’s joyful spirit touched everyone, and through ‘Hope is Everything,’ her memory lives on, inspiring acts of hope, kindness, compassion, and love.
