About us

 

 

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.
