CommentsVery informative and interesting.
CommentsMany changes lately. I like it.
CommentsIt looks like Hope for Tomorrow does a fantastic job. So much information. I'll be sending in a donation. It would be nice if everyone would help your mission. Your website is wonderful.
CommentsGreetings HFT, I am an alumni of Hope for Tomorrow, and wanted to express to you all my, and my families, sincere gratitude for saving my life. Today, I celebrate 18 months of sobriety - the most I have EVER had. Without your guidance and support, I am convinced I would be dead. Instead, I am a loving father to my children and a faithful husband to my wife (of twenty one years). Before coming into HFT, my marriage was over; my wife told me she was going to file for divorce because of my alcoholism. I could not hold a job, because I could not stop drinking. The accountability and support that I received at HFT kept me in line with my life goals, and the relapse counseling taught me more than I realized, until I got out and put a lot of it into practice. "Building a life centered around recovery instead of building my recovery around my life" - although a simple slogan - is sometimes not so easy. You are a life saver, you're a family builder, you're a spiritual builder (my faith is stronger than it has ever been), and most of all; you're a restorer of HOPE. I guess that's why you named the organization HOPE FOR TOMORROW. God bless this organization, and may God continue to bless you all too. With loving and eternal gratitude, B.H.
CommentsIt has been a while since I've looked around here. This site is really informative and up to date. I hope things are going well and I'm looking forward to information on this years banquet. The last couple have been so much fun.
CommentsI have read through your website and past comments, I've come to the conclusion that the HFT agency and staff truely are lifesavers! I have a younger brother who is now in his early stages of recovery and I do believe I will be recommending Hope For Tomorrow to him. I've been researching recovery homes and it was looking rather disappointing until I came across your website Thank you for offering a glimpse of hope!
CommentsAUGUST 10,2007 I JUST VIEWED THE GOOGLE VIDEO - THINK IT'S GREAT!! MY SON IS IN ONE OF YOUR HOUSES. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH POSITIVE WORDS ABOUT HOPE FOR TOMORROW. THANKS FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING.
CommentsThis past weekend we attended your annual banquet and were very impressed with the whole program. The client testimonies were especially moving and inspirational. We very much look forward to next years event and encourage anyone that has never attended to do so. Thanks for the great work you do.
CommentsI talked to a man I don't even know and he has totally giving me the faith and hope that I could not no longer see or feel within me anymore. I today feel like there will be a rainbow at the end of my tunnel. I look forward to joining the program ,and watching miracles happen one step at a time. I can't wait to find the old me and regain my life back thank you for the words of wisdom and encouragement today you made me feel my life is important and its worth living but the right way the healthy way you have givin me hope and something to believe in thanks again JEFF I no longer feel all alone I hope I get accepted to your absolutly fabulous sounding and looking sober fun recovery home thanks rachael
CommentsLooks Great! And I must admit I am very impressed!!!!
CommentsWhen is the golf outing this year? Looks like good times.
CommentsAWESOME sight. I really don't know where to begin...so I'll touch on what hit me that hardest. I watched the video and it gave me a heavy heart over-pouring with love and tears streaming down my face to see that there really are people out there who care so much & give so much without wanting anything in return EXCEPT to help those that are lost, who need positive redirection, but most importantly showing you believe in them and give them TRUE HOPE FOR TOMORROW! I am so proud of my brother, who is a resident, and the accomplishments he has made so far because of this program. He still has a long road ahead of him but he truly sees that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and not just darkness and dispair. Your teachings of "Building your life around recovery NOT building recovery around your life" is very deep in meaning and only those who believe in it will succeed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and God Bless Everyone and this organization. With Love and Gratitude, Linda W
CommentsHarold Wright - congratulations, Jeff...
CommentsI just wanted to say we had a great time at the spaghetti dinner last week and are very much looking forward to the motorcycle run. See you in June.
CommentsHad to leave a comment!!! I came homeless and broken. Today I have God in my life, contented sobriety, a beautiful wife and child and a life beyond what I ever thought I could achieve. I was absolutely blessed to be directed to this program and to now be alumni that gets to continue to see others lives changed. Go God D.B.
CommentsHi Jeff, We met many years ago, but you and your facilities stay in my thoughts. I frequently refer patients to you. Would you be willing to send me some flyers about your services so I can give them to other patients? Thank you, Linda Pepper, RN, CADC c/o Provena Mercy Medical Center-Behavioral Health 1325 N.

CommentsIt is with much gratitude that I write and express what HFT has done for my life. As I am coming up on almost 4 years of sobriety, I look back on the day that would change the course of my life forever. Weeks prior I attempted suicide, and now I was about to move in with 7 other guys, I was scared, depressed, numb and felt there was nothing left of my life. What I found was that 7 other guys, Jeff and Janet Gilbert (The Founders) embraced me and gave me a sense of being in a family. HFT set me in motion by giving me the tools and holding me accountable for my actions so that I could begin to set down a solid foundation for the rest of my life. Now almost 4 years later, I have mended many family relationships, welcomed God in my life, helped start up a recovery program with my church, went back to school to become a subtance abuse counselor, and most importantly have learned to look at myself in the mirror and love myself. I owe my life and my sobriety to HFT and what it gave me while a resident. Keep us the fantastic work, I will always be a huge supporter of HFT and the mission it stands for. Tim S.
CommentsLovely homes
CommentsThanks Jeff for the tribute to Luke, I know he was like a brother to you. I will keep your hurting heart in my prayers. Know that you gave him your all and then some. God bless you both. Luke will be missed by many including myself.
