Harper Hope Center
Angels Among Us has always longed for a permanent home and we finally moved into it in September of 2023.
The Harper Hope Center is dedicated to serving the families we assist. It is their home away from home, a place of respite from their cancer journey.
We are placed strategically down the street from Children’s Nebraska where majority of the families we serve receive treatment. The space is equipped with a place to relax, a small kitchen for snacks or meals, laundry services, and space to meet and build community.
