Images of Hope: Bringing awareness to childhood cancers and illnesses

Posted by liveBooks

Having the Images of Hope website created by liveBooks has been a blessing. Images of Hope was started after my son, Montana, battled Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of 2 1/2. I had been wanting to find a way to give back to all those who have helped us in numerous ways while he fought for those 3 years. Photography is a passion of mine as well as for many others. Photographs capture moments, memories and they are priceless. Since the launching of the website we have had many photographers throughout the country who have become involved in helping to capture these precious moments of children battling these horrific diseases.

The website has helped with spreading awareness and bringing attention to the number one killer among kids. The families of the children photographed are beyond grateful for the images they receive. We are capturing memories of a hero, which will eventually be hope for future children diagnosed with a devastating illness. Images of Hope is dedicated to helping children and providing them with lasting memories through art. This website has been our number one way of sharing what we do. Without the capability of being able to view images the ability of spreading awareness would be much less effective.

Images of Hope is a non-profit organization that brings awareness to childhood cancers and illnesses through photography. They offer special sessions free of charge to children and families who are dealing with cancer. By capturing images of these children with these life threatening diseases we hope to spread awareness and capture priceless moments that will last a lifetime.Jessica Oatman founded Images of Hope in January of 2008 as a way to give back to all those who have helped her son and family deal with childhood Leukemia. Her son is now in remission but has a long road ahead of him. For most of families, pictures are the last thing they would go about and have done while dealing with a crisis. But years later, as they look back, these images will be the memories of a hero and the hope for future children who will be diagnosed with a devastating disease.
