“Strength is not the absence of struggle, but the choice to keep moving forward in the middle of it.”

💖 Welcome to Offering OTHERZ Hope!

At Offering Otherz Hope!, we are dedicated to walking alongside mothers who have just received a breast cancer diagnosis—because no woman should face the journey alone.

Our nonprofit exists to provide immediate emotional, financial, and practical support to mothers in Atlanta, Georgia Nashville, Tennessee, and surrounding counties, during one of the most challenging seasons of their lives. We focus on relieving the financial burden by assisting with essential expenses like rent, mortgage, utilities, and car notes, while also offering volunteer help for light housework and connecting families to local support groups in their communities.

Whether it’s a warm meal, a helping hand with laundry, or a few months of paid bills to allow space for healing—we’re here to say: You are not alone.

We believe in the power of community, compassion, and showing up when it matters most. Join us as we offer hope, strength, and tangible help to the mothers who need it most.
