“At a time when many are struggling with grief, uncertainty, and life’s difficulties, Hope Givers offers real stories and tools to navigate hardship with strength and clarity,” says O’Donnell-Ames. “It’s an indisputable truth that while life is complicated and difficult, hope is reserved for each and every one of us.”
A Personal Journey to Helping Others
After her husband Kevin O’Donnell passed away from ALS at just 36 years old, O’Donnell-Ames dedicated her life to supporting families affected by terminal illness and adversity. She founded Hope Loves Company, the only nonprofit dedicated to supporting the children and grandchildren of ALS patients.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, she launched the podcast Gratitude to Latitude: Stories of Hope and Resilience, where she interviewed inspiring individuals about their journeys through adversity. This experience led to the creation of Hope Givers, a book that combines personal memoir, expert insights, and stories of resilience to help others navigate grief, loss, and personal growth.

In Hope Givers, O’Donnell-Ames introduces readers to the C.H.A.N.G.E. method, a framework designed to help individuals shift their mindset, embrace resilience, and find strength through life’s transitions.
The book provides a raw, unfiltered look at overcoming grief and finding clarity, blending real-life experiences with actionable steps for emotional healing.
