THE HOPE PROJECT
The HOPE PROJECT is a movement of compassion built for those who feel forgotten in their pain. Through simple, genuine acts of connection, we reach people who are isolated, struggling, or silently fighting to hold on. Every letter sent, every bracelet mailed, every act of kindness shared is a reminder that someone cares - that their life matters. Hope doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes, it shows up in the quietest way… and still changes everything.
The Hope Bracelet
The Hope Bracelet was created for the silent warriors—the ones fighting battles no one sees.
Everywhere around us, there are people struggling—yet many feel unseen, unheard, and alone. Some carry the weight quietly, believing they can’t share their story for fear of judgment, disbelief, or hate.
This bracelet is more than a piece of jewelry—it’s a symbol of compassion and connection. Whether someone is facing mental health challenges, chronic illness, or a mystery condition that defies explanation, we want them to know: we see you, you matter, and there is still hope.
When someone receives the Hope Bracelet, our wish is that it sparks even the smallest light in the darkness—a reminder that they are not alone, and their life has immeasurable value.​
Show your support for suicide prevention and carry a daily reminder of your worth with the I MATTER Bracelet. Made from durable, comfortable silicone, this bracelet features the uplifting phrase:
“I MATTER – even when I doubt it!”
Available in soothing baby blue, white and purple, these meaningful colors symbolize hope, awareness, and healing. Whether you wear it as a personal reminder, to spark important conversations, or to stand in solidarity with those affected by suicide, this bracelet is a powerful way to spread the message that #theymatter.
Perfect for everyday wear, gifting, or sharing within communities, this bracelet helps break the silence and reminds everyone that no one is alone, and every life matters.
Making the World a Hopeful Place
Our heartfelt initiative created to bring a little light to those walking through dark times. Whether someone is facing mental health challenges, financial hardship, homelessness, grief, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life — our mission is simple: to offer a spark of hope.
We know we can’t fix every problem, but we can extend a hand. Through small but meaningful gestures, we strive to uplift, encourage, and remind people that they are not alone.
At the heart of the HOPE PROJECT are our HOPE BOXES — small care packages filled with carefully chosen items meant to inspire and comfort. Each box may include encouraging notes, thoughtful trinkets, our signature HOPE MARBLE card, and other tiny reminders that someone cares. They are simple gifts, but often, it’s the smallest lights that shine the brightest in the darkest times.
The HOPE PROJECT
But the HOPE PROJECT is more than just a box — it's a movement of compassion, creativity, and quiet kindness.
It also includes:
GROWING SMILES Community Outreach
Each April, we invite people to plant sunflower seeds — a simple act that blooms into joy. As the sunflowers grow, they brighten neighborhoods and lift spirits, becoming a living symbol of hope and resilience.
THEY MATTER Boxes
Placed in public spaces — yards, sidewalks, parks — these boxes are filled with uplifting messages, small items of encouragement, and suicide prevention materials. They're available anytime, offering support even when no one is physically there. Their silent message: “You matter. You are not alone.”
AASP #THEYMATTER Rocks Program
This creative outreach encourages people to paint rocks with words of hope and leave them in unexpected places — along trails, sidewalks, or tucked in public corners — for others to discover when they need a reminder to hold on. A simple rock. A powerful message.
Hope Offerings (Behind-the-Scenes Kindness)
This quiet part of our mission is based on the biblical principle of giving in secret (Matthew 6:3-4). When we notice someone in need — someone struggling, grieving, or quietly hurting — we do what we can to help, discreetly and without expectation. No spotlight, no credit, just love in action. These "hope offerings" are personal, heartfelt acts of service that reflect our deepest belief: that kindness, even when unseen, can change everything.
We know we can't reach everyone. But we believe that even a tiny spark of hope can make a difference. And so we try. One box. One rock. One seed. One soul at a time.
This is the HOPE PROJECT.
Sometimes hope is all you need.
