Mission Statement:
Y-Hope Foundation is aimed at helping women challenged by life-circumstances or the effects of chronic and life-threatening illnesses receive lifted spirits through common-touch healing .
In 2002 a group of friends created the Y-Hope Foundation, Inc, a registered 501(c) 3 non-profit organization. The founders are determined to support women's needs by making them feel better about themselves and their futures. The organization provides support that goes beyond the services that are currently being offered by other established organizations.
