💜 Her Light Still Leads Us 💜
9 years ago today, the world lost a beautiful little girl, Eliza Hope. What began as the darkest day of Aimee and Aaron Darby’s lives has become a source of light and healing for so many.💫
In 2017, the Eliza Hope Foundation opened its doors with a dream to help families like theirs. Families navigating autism, therapies, and the search for hope. We could have never imagined that seven years later, we would have served over 1,000 families, expanded to more than 12,000 square feet, and built a space overflowing with love, learning, and possibility.💞
EVERY SINGLE DAY, Eliza’s name is spoken with love. It’s worn proudly on t-shirts and hats, carried into classrooms, therapy sessions, and hearts. Her name has become a symbol of strength. A reason that families who once felt lost have found hope again. 💫
Today, on the anniversary of her passing, we cut the ribbon on our expansion. A living testament to what love can build, even after unimaginable loss. To everyone who has supported this mission, believed in our work, and helped Eliza’s light shine on, thank you. Her legacy is alive in every smile, every breakthrough, and every family that walks through our doors.
As we step into this new chapter, we can’t help but wonder, what more will her light inspire next? Whatever it brings, we know it will be filled with hope, love, and the magic of Eliza. 💜
