Legacy

When a family faces terminal illness, they deserve to know that even in the hardest moments, there is still room for joy, connection, and memories that last. That’s why Inheritance of Hope exists. Through experiences and support like Legacy Retreats®, Hope@Home™ Groups, and Hope Hubs™, we’re bringing families together to find hope, build connections, and make the most of the time they have. You can help make this possible for families. Donate today at the link in our bio.

Kristen Milligan, and her husband Deric, built a legacy rooted in family, faith, and the belief that even in life’s hardest storms, hope can still grow. Together, they wanted to create a place that made sure families like theirs never had to face a terminal diagnosis alone. Though Kristen’s life ended in 2012, her legacy lives on in every family reminded they’re not alone. Her legacy is timeless. Her hope lives on. Thousands of children and families need hope, and they don’t have much time. Would you donate today and help us bring a family back to life? Donate at the link in our bio!

Our volunteers are SO excited to welcome our families to the St. Louis Legacy Retreat®! We can’t wait to see everyone arrive today and kick off a weekend filled with laughter, love, and lots of memories.

These are the moments we hope families carry with them. ❤️ At a Legacy Retreat®, families facing a parent’s terminal illness are given the space to slow down, laugh, connect, and simply be together. Professional photography helps capture the smiles, the hugs, the personalities, and the love that fills these days - creating tangible memories families can hold onto for years to come. Because when life feels uncertain, every moment together matters. And these moments? They are worth remembering. 📸❤️ #InheritanceOfHope #LegacyRetreat #EveryMomentMatters #LegacyLivesOn

Our partners at @dillards are also impacting families this Holley Day! Between October 4-13, visit Dillard's and treat yourself or a loved one to some Kendra Scott jewelry. 20% of every Kendra Scott purchase in-store will support Inheritance of Hope families.

POV: You found an organization that makes legacy-building kinda chic. ✨ At Inheritance of Hope, we believe some of life’s most meaningful moments deserve to be celebrated, remembered, and carried forward. From Legacy Retreats®️ to Hope Hub™️ gatherings, Legacy Videos™️, Legacy Songs™️, and more - families facing a parent’s terminal illness can create meaningful moments together and build a legacy that lives on. Because legacy isn’t just about what you leave behind. It’s about what you create while you’re here. ❤️ #InheritanceOfHope #BuildALegacy #LegacyBuilding #LegacyRetreat #HopeHub #KindaChic

Death is real. But it has lost its sting. Today, 562 children in the U.S. will lose a parent to terminal illness. Erin’s two children became part of that statistic when their dad died from brain cancer. Inheritance of Hope walked alongside Erin and her family with programs, resources, and a community that reminded them they weren’t alone. Now, Erin volunteers with Inheritance of Hope alongside her son. They've learned that joy and sorrow aren't opposites — they hold hands. Inheritance of Hope calls it "jorrow" (joy in sorrow). Will you help a family like Erin’s know they’re not alone? Your gift brings hope and support to families facing a parent’s terminal illness when they need it most. No gift is too small. Donate today at the link in our bio.

Happy Boss's Day! Here's a reminder to show your boss a little extra appreciation today! 🙌 We're so thankful for our Senior Leaders! Their leadership and dedication make it possible for more families to experience the joy of life, even in the face of loss.

We call it a retreat, but no ones retreating. Because even when life gets hard, there's still life to be lived. And we're here to make sure families facing a parent's terminal illness don't miss out on it. Help us bring more families back to life. Donate today at the link in our bio.

It doesn’t get much better than this. ❤️ Day two of the St. Louis Legacy Retreat® is filled with laughter, connection, and memories being made together. So grateful for the families, volunteers, and moments that make this weekend so special. #LegacyRetreat #InheritanceOfHope #FindJoy #Hope #Community
