Hope Strengthens Foundation (HSF) is a 100% volunteer-run 501(c)(3) public charity that provides critical financial support to individuals and families facing life-threatening illness, disability, or recovering from traumatic injuries.
HSF was founded by long-time friends James Fahey and Jacob Ferreira in 2010. Its roots were established when a mutual friend, Joe, valiantly battled against and beat cancer. Joe’s drive towards remission was centered in two simple words: Hope Strengthens.
