Each year a client who has benefited from our programs volunteers to write a witness letter to encourage participation in our Annual Fund Appeal. This year’s letter from Lori Brown is a must read! You can download Lori’s story from the home page of our website (www.cornerstoneofhope.org). An excerpt from Lori’s letter reads, “….I turned to Cornerstone, but without them I seriously don’t know where I would be today…My gratitude and thanks go out to Cornerstone of Hope for helping me to heal.”
We serve hundreds of families each year that have experienced tremendous loss like the Brown family. We are always willing and able to serve them, but your participation makes it all possible. We rely solely on charitable gifts to be able to operate our ministry to those who grieve. We humbly ask for your participation to this year’s Annual Fund. Truly any level of support helps us, help others.
In Christ,
Christi and Mark Tripodi, Founders
Just wanted to share a few aerial pictures of the new site.
The house is getting closer and closer to completion every week. Here are a few recent pictures.

Since breaking ground on January 5, 2007, our construction crew has made tremendous progress toward the completion of our new home. Many of you who travel route 21 (Brecksville Road) to and from downtown are eye witnesses of the continual structural changes. For those interested in seeing the evolution of our new center, the location is 5905 Brecksville Road, Independence, Ohio 44131 just north of Rockside Road. As construction continues, we have are experiencing an ignited interest from individuals in supporting our ministry to those who grieve. Since January, we have received donations totaling $58,500 specifically earmarked for the capital campaign, “The Campaign for Hope”. Many have chosen to reserve naming opportunities in honor of their company or in memory of a loved one. A variety of naming rights are available. If interested please contact Mark Tripodi at 216-524-3787 or send an e-mail to mark@cornerstoneofhope.org.
