One of our Warriors is in the hospital for testing.
This time… it’s my son 💜

Steven is the reason HOPE was born.
The reason we fight.
The reason we serve.
The reason our retreats carry the name “Steven’s Journey.”

Fifteen years ago, we stepped into a world of specialists, scans, unknowns, and prayers whispered in hallways and waiting rooms.

We didn’t know then what this road would require of us - the strength, the surrender, the resilience, the faith.

And here we are again... beginning of a week long hospital stay.

Today brings an MRI, and today we are praying for a stable report.
No surprises. No progression. Just stability.

After 15 (almost 16 🫠) years, I can tell you something honestly - it really never gets easier. You learn the language. You learn the system. You learn the routines. You learn how to advocate. You even learn how to pack the hospital bag like a professional. But the ache? The waiting? The vulnerability? The desperate prayers? That never becomes light. Those stay tender.

And this… this is why HOPE exists.

HOPE was built in waiting rooms.
HOPE was built in hospital cafeterias and long nights in reclining chairs.
HOPE was built out of the understanding that families like ours need more than medicine - they need community, support, prayer, tangible help, and moments to breathe.

When we host retreats...
When we give...
When we check in on another caregiver..
When we create space for others...
When we say, “You are not alone.”...

It’s because we have lived this.

Steven’s Journey isn’t just a name. It’s a testimony. It’s the road that shaped us. It’s the reminder that even in uncertainty, one thing is certain - and that is this very moment.

Through it all, what carries us through each day, is our village.

We are so deeply thankful for our friends, family, and HOPE family, who show up, check in, pray, and love us through every season. And for the medical team who has walked this road with us - you are more than providers. You have become family.

If you think of Steven today, please pray:
• For peace
• For wisdom and clarity for his doctors
• For calm hearts in the waiting
• And for a stable, unchanged report

This is the heart behind HOPE.
This is why we do what we do.
Because no family should walk journeys like this alone.

🕊🩵 Remember Me, Sunday 🩵🕊

One Year Without You.

Today marks one year since we said goodbye to our bold, vibrant, unforgettable Dawn.

One year of missing your voice.
One year of wishing we could hear your laugh again - that beautiful cackle that always made everyone else start laughing too.
One year of learning how to carry your absence.

Dawn was so much more than a wife, daughter, mother, friend, neighbor - she was steady love and fierce strength wrapped into one beautiful soul. She never did anything halfway. She loved loudly. She showed up fully. She brought color, energy, and light into every room she entered. You always knew when Dawn was there - and you were better for it.

She had such a deep love for animals and a heart that cared for every living thing. That compassion was just another reflection of the vibrant, giving spirit she carried.

This year has reminded us of something sacred: love doesn’t end when heaven begins.

We hold tightly to the promises, and trust that she is whole, restored, and radiant in the presence of the Lord. And while our hearts still ache here, we cling to the belief that this separation is not forever.

We don’t remember her with only tears - we remember her with gratitude. For the lessons she taught us. For the strength she modeled. For the boldness she lived with. For the way she loved so deeply.

We honor you by loving boldly.
We honor you by living vibrantly.
We honor you by keeping our eyes fixed on eternity.

If you knew and loved Dawn, would you share a memory or photo below? Let’s fill this space with the light she carried so effortlessly.

We miss you deeply. We love you endlessly.
We carry you with us - until we meet again 🤍✨

If you have a loved one who has passed on and would like for HOPE Warriors to share their story, or offer them a spotlight - we would be privileged to honor them on our platform with a day of their own.

Every Sunday we offer a Remember Me post. It's our way of sharing the love and honoring their memory. Keeping their presence in a space that all can see, forever.

If you would like a Remember Me Sunday post, send us an email [ HoldOnPainEndsInc@gmail.com ] with "Remember Me Sunday" in the subject 🫂❤️

Did anyone attend their local Night to Shine event? 👑✨️

We didn’t forget to post our awareness video this week... we were just a little excited (and slightly distracted 😉) getting ready to walk the red carpet at Night to Shine 💙✨

For those who may not know, Night to Shine is an unforgettable prom night experience for individuals with special needs. It’s hosted on the same evening every year, all across the United States and around the world, through local churches - all sponsored by the incredible Tim Tebow Foundation .

Every honored guest is crowned a King or Queen.
Every guest is celebrated.
Every guest is seen.

And as a parent… whew.

I was nervous.
I was emotional.
I was excited in that deep, heart-pounding, fingers shaking, breath-holding, way.

I cant tell you how many times their buddy took my hands and reminded me to take a deep breath... in just 10 minutes 😅

Watching my kids step through those doors… watching them smile from their hearts and not from formal habit… watching them let go and live fully, freely, and safely - it did something to my heart.

There is nothing like seeing your child embraced exactly as they are, in a space designed just for them.

My heart is overflowing with gratitude.

To every single buddy who showed up to link arms with our Kings and Queens - thank you. Your impact is everlasting.

To the churches across this country that pour their time, resources, and love into making this night happen - thank you for creating spaces where joy is loud, crowns are worn proudly, and dignity shines brighter than any spotlight.

And of course, a HUGE thank you to Tim Tebow for creating this event, and honoring our community in such a grand way.

Immediately after walking through the door to our home last night, I was asked, "Can you register us for next year now?" And for us, that alone speaks volumes.

Grateful hearts over here. Truly 💙

Did anyone else attend their local Night to Shine this year?
If so, please drop your pictures in the comments! We would LOVE the chance to celebrate your King or Queen too 👑✨

Let’s fill this thread with crowns and joy 💙
