Carry Hope Forward

If You Found a Rock, You Found a Story of Hope.

Welcome! If you're here because you discovered one of our hand-painted rocks, thank you for being part of something special.

This rock is more than a colorful surprise. It is a symbol of hope, kindness, and community. It is part of Carry Hope Forward, a cross-country fundraising journey benefiting Annie's Angels Memorial Fund.

This summer, our family is traveling across America to visit loved ones, explore our beautiful country, and create lasting memories together. Along the way, we're carrying a mission that is close to our hearts: helping families facing disease, illness, or disability.

Why We Leave Rocks

For nearly twenty years, Annie's Angels Memorial Fund has provided financial assistance to families struggling with the everyday costs that often accompany medical challenges. When illness prevents a parent from working, when treatment creates financial strain, or when families are simply trying to keep up with essential expenses, Annie's Angels helps provide support, relief, and hope.

As we travel from state to state, we are leaving hand-painted rocks in communities across the country. Each rock represents a family who could use a helping hand and a reminder that kindness can be found in unexpected places.

If you've found one, you've become part of our journey.

What To Do If You Found a Rock - We hope you'll help us Carry Hope Forward.

1. Learn About the Mission

Take a moment to learn about Annie's Angels and the families whose lives are impacted through the generosity of caring people like you.

2. Share Your Discovery

Take a photo of the rock and post it on social media. Tell us where you found it and tag our campaign so we can follow its journey.

3. Share a Story

Tell us about a time someone showed kindness to you, supported your family, or gave you hope during a difficult season. Your story may inspire someone else.

4. Make a Donation

If you are able, consider making a gift to Annie's Angels Memorial Fund. Every donation helps provide practical assistance to families facing medical hardships.

5. Keep Hope Moving

You can leave the rock for someone else to discover or move it to a new location so its journey can continue. Every new discovery creates another opportunity to spread kindness.

What started as a family road trip has become an opportunity to create a nationwide chain of compassion.

*Every rock found starts a conversation.

*Every shared photo spreads awareness.

*Every donation helps a family in need.

*Every act of kindness carries hope forward.

As a family, we know how fortunate we are to be making this journey together. We also know that many families supported by Annie's Angels are focused on treatments, hospital visits, caregiving responsibilities, and finding a way through some of life's toughest challenges.

Our goal is to remind them that they are not alone.
