562 children will lose a parent to terminal illness today. They shouldn't have to face that alone.

NO ONE should feel robbed of time with loved ones. We build community for young families affected by terminal illness.

Helping families find joy in the trials of terminal illness

The Inheritance of Hope story began with one young family facing a parent’s terminal illness – a mom and dad with young children looking for resources for their entire family as they all navigated the mom’s illness. Surprisingly, there were none. They decided to create resources for their family and share them with others. In 2007, Deric and Kristen Milligan launched Inheritance of Hope with the mission to inspire hope in young families facing the loss of a parent.
