It’s wonderful to meet you!  

I’m Madeline Puckett, Family Hope Foundation’s new Program Coordinator. I’m a Hope College alumni with a BA in communications—I had a dream of working with nonprofit organizations—and here I am today introducing myself to you, friend!

Growing up, I knew I wanted to spend my life helping others. In high school, I got involved in a nationwide fundraiser called Dance Marathon. 

This carried forward into college where I served as the Director of Community Relations for Dance Marathon. It completely changed my life—nonprofit work is where I found my home.

I completely submerged myself in the program and continued my career with Dance Marathon and Children’s Miracle Network. 

I filled my days fundraising, connecting with the community, and dancing.  I dedicated myself to making sure children at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital had what they needed to have a happy and healthy childhood. 

I vividly remember thinking, “I want to do this for the rest of my life.” 

And here I am today—ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work! 
Family Hope Foundation is giving me the opportunity to do what I love most—helping children and families.

I am beyond excited to join Family Hope Foundation’s community and work together to make this world a better place.
