Who we are
JP’s Ability Hope exists to bring hope & opportunities to thrive to people of all ages affected by physical, intellectual & developmental disabilities.
Our geographical focus is northern New Jersey/ metro NYC, the U.S. & France. We are open to helping in other parts of North America & in other nations. Last month God brought to connection with The Speial Hope Network working in Zambia in southern Africa. We are actively looking at helping at a Night to Shine in Lusaka in late July.
John Philippe (aka J.P.) has been the primary face of our organization. Since his diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in 2014, God has led us on an adventuresome path as we have tried to help him & thousands of others to thrive.
