Leadership Team

We have an orphan crisis in South Texas. In response to this crisis, we formed 1HOPE for Kids with the simple goal of doing everything possible to serve the needs of orphans and the families that serve them. While serving as foster parents and learning to meet the needs of the children in our homes, the founders of 1HOPE became acutely aware of the immense crisis children in our region are facing. We're here to work with you and for you, providing support at every stage.
