One big, giving
heart started it all.
Meet Paulette.

Paulette Laurenzi founded Spring Lake Hope Foundation (formerly Spring Lake Toys Foundation) in May of 2016.

What started out as a mission to grant new toys to lift the spirits of children with illnesses quickly developed into a mission of hope. Spring Lake Hope pays for the medical and medical related expenses, not covered by insurance, for children with rare illnesses and special needs. Life enhancing therapies, adaptive equipment, wheelchair accessible vans and home modifications are some of the many items we cover. Join us in our journey as we approach our 10 year anniversary!

Spring Lake Hope’s 11th van grant in 2025 went to 7 year old William of Burlington County, NJ. William’s mom, Marsha was in tears upon receipt.

Marsha found us on Facebook last year which was the beginning of the one year relationship in assisting her.

An added bonus that Santa Claus was available to join in for this joyous holiday grant. A special occasion for sure! ... See MoreSee Less
