At Light House of Hope Safe Spot Inc, we are honored to participate in the Walk for Change campaign, a pivotal movement aimed at ending the HIV epidemic in Central Florida. Our commitment is to provide a lifeline for HIV-positive women who are re-entering care after delivery, ensuring they have the resources and support they need to thrive during this critical time.

Our Mission: Empowering Mothers, Nurturing Futures

The journey of an HIV-positive woman doesn’t end with childbirth; in many ways, it begins anew. We recognize the unique challenges these courageous women face as they navigate the complexities of post-delivery life while managing their health and caring for their newborns. Our mission is to be there for them every step of the way, offering comprehensive support to meet their needs and empower their futures.
