Jacob’s Hope

Compassionate care for babies. Judgment-free support for moms.

Every 25 minutes, a baby in the United States is born experiencing opioid withdrawal.

If this is your story, or if you are worried it could be, you are not alone.

Jacobs hope made all my worries go away! They helped with my preemie daughter and had my back if I had to deal with DCS (WHICH I DIDN’T) and made my husband and I feel comfortable staying there. Definitely recommend to anyone needing recommendations on where to go.

Every moment counts

Like all babies, the babies cared for at Jacob’s Hope have unlimited potential. Some just need a little extra time, comfort, and support at the very beginning of life.

We provide that care during the most critical early days, helping babies stabilize, recover, and prepare to go home with their families.

Who Was Jacob?

Jacob was the beloved son of Brian and Jo Jones.

“Our son, Jacob Robert Jones, was the first baby we ever held who was born exposed to drugs. We loved him deeply, but we didn’t yet understand how to care for a baby experiencing withdrawal.

Jacob’s Hope was created so other babies—and their families—could receive the specialized care, understanding, and compassion they deserve during those first difficult weeks.”

Jacob’s story is the heart behind everything we do.

Change a life Today

It doesn’t take much to change a life and sometimes it just takes showing up with compassion.

Whether you’re seeking help, supporting a loved one, or giving back, you are part of the hope.

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40
