Edward's Story

Edward's Hope Foundation began with a simple but life-changing realization.

Our founder, Josiane Simervil, had operated her own caregiving agency for many years when she began working with Edward, a gentleman living in College Park. While helping him with his daily needs, Josiane noticed that Edward needed more than caregiving assistance. His home also needed important improvements, including a safer door and an updated kitchen.

That experience revealed a need affecting many people in our community. Some older adults and people with disabilities can afford assistance with daily activities but do not have enough money to make their homes safe, accessible, and comfortable. Others may need a bed, food, clothing, household supplies, or temporary support during a difficult time.

Edward inspired Josiane to look beyond daily care and find ways to address those unmet needs. With Edward's permission, the Foundation was named in his honor.

Edward's Hope Foundation was created to  turn compassion into practical assistance—helping people  remain safe in their homes, regain stability, and live with dignity and independence.
