Our Mission
Mother’s Hope has set out to achieve this goal in one way. To offer assistance, emotional and
financial, to families who have children suffering from cancer in Western Pennsylvania. The
money is distributed to families who are in urgent need as their needs arise through the
Mother’s Hope Foundation Endowment Fund at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation.
Our History
In June of 1994 Cathy Howe, a homemaker living in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania traveled to Medjugorje, Bosnia-Hercegovina following the passing of her mother. While there she visited the Capljina refugee camp in Tasovcici. She was part of a humanitarian group which was greeted by children and adults left homeless by the Bosnian War.
Our Founder
Cathy Howe lived in Pittsburgh with her husband, Jim, and had three children and seven
grandchildren. Being a wife, mother and nana was her dream, but through God’s Grace and Our
Blessed Mother’s endless love, she grew into another role – a role bringing hope to children as
Founder and Executive Director of Mother’s Hope Foundation.
