For Moms and Caregivers in Need
In this time of crisis, moms and caregivers need help. Here is a great new resource brought to us by the Governor’s Office of Youth Faith and Family. There is help for those in need. Please open the link and find support in this critical time.
Jacob’s Hope is a clinic for newborns who are suffering with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, or withdrawals from pre-natal exposure to drugs. Our medically nurturing facility cares for these infants while the drugs leave their systems. We love and care for these babies in a home-like environment until they are ready for discharge.

The mission of Jacob’s Hope is to aid newborns who have been exposed to drugs during gestation and are experiencing withdrawal symptoms once born.
We are here now, for the babies...
Our medically nurturing plan:
- provides essential care for the infants
- trains moms and caregivers to provide for the special needs of their babies
- provides contacts and information to establish long-term connections for family stabilization
Our process has given us a renovated building, a complete fire sprinkler and alarm in place and operating, our Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Mesa, and our state license from the Arizona Department of Health Services. All of the AHCCCS insurers are contracted and in place.
We are fully staffed and caring for infants.
So much to be thankful for and so many people to thank for their amazing efforts. A small band of ordinary people has accomplished the extraordinary.
What a team we have
Who Is Jacob?
Our son, Jacob Robert Jones, was the very first infant we ever held, ever loved, ever cared for who was born exposed to drugs. He came to us as a newborn with the symptoms and behaviors of a little baby addicted to drugs. We were so naïve as to how to care for him or what was actually wrong with him, so we just did our best and loved him with all of our hearts. Due to pre-natal drug exposure, our son suffered from the effects of substance abuse for his entire life.
Jacob’s Hope, is dedicated to our son, in the desire that other children, through proper care and nurturing, can be given loving and competent care, as they struggle through drug withdrawals in the first weeks of their lives.

ACCORDING TO THE GUIDELINES FOR IDENTIFYING SUBSTANCE EXPOSED NEWBORNS, MORE THAN 8,000 ARIZONA NEWBORNS ARE AFFECTED BY PRENATAL DRUG AND ALCOHOL EXPOSURE EVERY YEAR. ALMOST 800 ARE BORN WITH NEONATAL ABSTINENCE SYNDROME AND REQUIRE SPECIAL CARE.
The King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
