You can also support our efforts by donating to our Austin Marathon Gives campaign! All money donated will be sent to U.R. Our Hope to support our outreach and family support programs.
What we do
U.R. Our Hope is one of the only organizations in the country assisting patients on the journey to diagnosis and continues to support them beyond. We assist families in finding answers and critical treatment plans.
- Gas/Meal Cards – we provide gas/meal gift cards to those traveling for medical visits to see doctors specialized in their conditions or best fit their needs
- Research Programs – we help to enroll individuals in some of the nation’s top research programs to find a diagnosis, such as the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Program and TGEN
- Crisis Support – during hospitalization or times of crisis we provide respite, meals, emergency lodging, and support for burial costs
- Family Meetings – local families gather each month to connect and spend time with others to network, share resources, and simply offer support to others who share the journey
Our Impact
We have over 75 active families and continue receiving referrals daily. Our families are concentrated in Central Texas, but our reach extends across 10 different states and at least 5 other countries. We have helped these families find a diagnosis or make significant progress in their diagnostic journey.
