Mission

H.O.P.E. INC.

Helping Ourselves Prisoners & Ex-Offenders

Our mission as a non-profit organization is for ex-offenders to find a better quality of life. H.O.P.E. brings understanding, love and support to formally incarcerated people who want to lead productive lives for themselves, and their children, in society.

 

Sheryl Abel

H.O.P.E. Inc. was founded in 2004 by C.E.O., Sheryl Abel. The foundation is funded by private donations and grants. We also provide support and services for those incarcerated, their caregivers and their children.  

God has endowed Sheryl with a sincere purpose in reaching out to formerly incarcerated and those at risk.

Sheryl has humbly accepted her calling. She understands the trauma of those incarcerated, having traveled that road herself. 

Now it is her life's work to help as many people as she can; to embrace the same peace that God has given her. A peace that will allow them to erase the pain of their past, and replace it with HOPE for the future.
