    Kara's Hope is a non-profit organization devoted to improving the lives of special needs children and their families. One of their primary focuses is on children with a brain condition known as Holoprosencephally. HPE is generally a terminal condition where the brain has not fully developed during pregnancy.

    The foundation provides support to families, whether it be counseling, emotional support or financial support due to gaps in their insurance coverage or families who have specialized equipment needs that insurance will not cover. The fundraising efforts support the endowment fund, which allows the foundation to continue offering direct support to these exceptional children and the parents who care for them.

    Kara's HoPE is currently seeking support to help spread the message and generate involvement in fundraising efforts. Please visit Facebook, Twitter and the website for charitable efforts to help families and infants dealing with Holoprosencephally and details on prize package.
