Why We ExistA Life Remembered.
A Life Remembered.
A Mission Moving Forward.
In 2017, founder John Archer lost his daughter Skylar to a fentanyl-heroin overdose. Her memory became the foundation for a mission built around action, compassion, recovery, and another chance.
Today, Skylar's Hope For Change works to meet people where they are and connect them with practical pathways toward dignity, stability, health, and hope.
What We Do
Direct Support. Practical Pathways.
Six areas of service focused on bringing help closer to the people and communities that need it.
Addiction Recovery Support
Connecting people with recovery resources, community, counseling partnerships, and long-term support.
Transitional & Sober Housing
Supporting safer housing pathways for people rebuilding their lives and stability.
Veteran & PTSD Support
Connecting veterans facing homelessness, trauma, and addiction with specialized resources.
Homeless Outreach
Delivering supplies, care, resource connections, and human connection where services often do not reach.
Community Partnerships
Building alliances with local professionals, businesses, churches, and nonprofit partners.
