Eliza Hope Foundation

The Eliza Hope Foundation's mission is to provide educational support for children and families who are living with Autism and other developmental delays.

The mission of the Eliza Hope Foundation is to provide educational support for children and families who are living with Autism Spectrum disorders in the Hampton Roads area. We intend to carry out this mission by establishing a preschool completely dedicated to providing the special services, teachers and equipment necessary to meet the unique learning needs of these children. Eliza’s Story
Eliza was a sweet, joyful and loving little girl. She loved popcorn and pinecones. She loved watching Frozen, Bubble Guppies and Mickey Mouse and she would listen to the song “Happy” all day long if she could. When Eliza was 16 months old she had her first seizure and after months of doctors’ appointments and neurology tests, she was diagnosed with intractable Epilepsy and Autism Spectrum Disorder at 2 years old. We soon learned that finding a place where Eliza could learn and grow would be an overwhelming task. Out of dozens of local preschools, the majority could not accommodate Eliza’s needs. After months of searching and hours of frustration, we were finally fortunate enough to find two schools that Eliza was able to attend and worked for our family. We want to honor Eliza’s life by helping families who have similar struggles. The best part of the day was watching Eliza wearing her backpack, happily walking to class alongside her teacher. Every child deserves that chance and every parent should be able to experience that moment. This is the wish we hope to fulfill through the Eliza Hope Foundation.

We are beyond grateful to our friends at Pyramid Roofing for their continued support of Eliza Hope and for always celebrating neurodiverse children and families! 💙✨

Last Friday, they hosted us at the Tides Game, where our amazing Eliza Hope family, recipients of a brand-new roof from Pyramid, cheered on the team. 🏟️⚾ The highlight of the night? Ronan and his brother Brynx throwing out the first pitch! 💫

Thank you, Pyramid Roofing, for making a difference in our community and helping us spread hope, joy, and inclusion. 💞

🚌🍎📚First day of school is always filled with so many emotions — excitement, nerves, pride, and sometimes worry. For moms of children with special needs, those feelings can be even more tender. Please know you are not alone on this journey.

We see your strength, your advocacy, and your love. We’re sending encouragement to every mom watching their child walk (or roll) into a new classroom, ready to shine in their own way. 🧑🏻‍🦼🌟

Here’s to growth, new beginnings, and the beautiful courage of our kids — and their incredible moms who make it all possible.💫

✨ What an unforgettable night! ✨
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank Lauren and Cappy Sinclair for opening their home and hosting such a beautiful “Evening for Eliza.” Surrounded by friends old and new, we were reminded of the true power of community coming together with compassion and generosity.
Because of the Sinclair family’s kindness—and the support of everyone who attended—more children with autism and their families will have access to the resources, programs, and hope they deserve. 💙
Eliza’s light continues to shine so brightly through each of you who believe in our mission. We are endlessly grateful.
With love and gratitude,
The Eliza Hope Foundation 💙✨
