The idea of Clara’s Hope came about in 2013 after founders, Dave and

               Tami Kromer, adopted their youngest daughter, Clara, who was born

               with a terminal condition. The Kromers' church and community rallied

               around them, offering meals, childcare, and emotional support. This

               experience became a powerful example of what foster and adoptive

               care should look like—no family should have to walk this journey alone.

 

               In 2015, Clara's Hope was created under the umbrella of Freedom

               Center Church, and by 2020, it became an independent 501(c)(3

               nonprofit organization. Today, Clara's Hope has been helping families

               in need for the past 10 years and serves 100 foster and adoptive

               families across Genesee and Livingston Counties, offering essential

               resources, mentorship, emotional support, and community connections.

 

               At Clara's Hope, we believe that strong families build strong futures.

               Together, we are changing generations through hope, support, and

               connection.
