Compassion in Action Changes Lives
When a tornado tore through Seminole, Oklahoma in 2022, it left families like Duke, Alexis, and their five children in a heartbreaking situation.
This family, including two children with disabilities, have lived in a condemned 700 sq. ft. home since the tornado. With no insurance and limited income, rebuilding has been impossible, until now.
Hope Force has partnered with the City of Seminole to give this family a safe, secure home by the start of the 2025 school year, but we need your help!
Hope Force Reservists are coming to Seminole June 1-7 for a "BLITZ" week where it will be all hands-on-deck. The more volunteers we have, the faster Duke and Alexis can move in, and we want you to join us in Seminole.
If you have availability June 1-7, even just for a few days, please sign up here to help finish this house! Whether you’re a master in a trade or can just swing a hammer, you are needed. We will be doing everything from finishing plumbing to flooring to building a handicap ramp for two of these precious children.
With every gift, every hour volunteered, and every prayer, you bring light to some of the darkest moments. Together, we are not just rebuilding homes—we’re restoring hope.
With gratitude, -The Hope Force Team 💙
