About
The Spread Hope Project grew out of the idea that so many of us often feel alone, even when surrounded by others. Our mission is to spread hope to as many places and people as possible, both through our own advocacy efforts, and through helping other advocates build and promote efforts. We aim to let people know that each and every one of us matters, and that no matter how hopeless a situation may feel, they are not alone. By making visible the message of Hope, we aim to erase taboos and stigmas, and replace them with compassion, understanding, and a feeling of community.
