Seeing the impact that hope can have on people's lives, Dr. Rosalind Tompkins, founder and president of Mothers in Crisis, Inc. launched a national public awareness campaign in 2018 beginning with the designation of April as the National Month of Hope. Challenging people to 'think hope' and 'make hope connections', this inaugural campaign turned into a powerful movement of individuals joining forces and becoming citizens of hope in their own communities across the country.
Now, coinciding with the National Month of Hope, Mothers in Crisis Inc. will recognize inspiring individuals through the debut of the H.O.P.E.E. Awards (Helping Others Practice Enduring Empowerment). These awards will be presented to those who exemplify helping others to practice enduring empowerment while spreading hope in the family, church or synagogue, school, community, marketplace, nation and world.

"It's a blessing to be the bearer of good news and to let others know that who they are and what they do is shining bright and bringing hope to others," says Dr. Rosalind Tompkins. This year's slogan is "I would rather hope" and with daily headlines filled with tragedies that include school shootings, suicides, flooding and devastation, political turmoil, etc., there are many that need hope in their daily lives. This April and beyond, we hope that you will be inspired to become a Citizen of Hope.
