The O'Neill Foundation of Hope - Bloomington, Minnesota

Marie R.

My daughters best friend since childhood has had a tragic year. Her husband passed away unexpectedly in September, leaving her with four children to raise. To add to the grief, he was working on their home at the time, leaving their home literally open to the elements, making it dangerous for the children. As it got colder going into winter, they were fighting the weather and I wasn't sure what could be done to help them.
The O'Neill Foundation came through! They donated the funds to buy materials and rallied their Friends/Team Members with the Minnesota Real Estate Team and preferred vendors to volunteer in finishing the work that had to be done to protect the family's home.
Ryan I am so proud to be a member of your Team, you have performed a miracle!
Thanks to everyone involved, Beth Novak, Mike Garbart and Eli, I will always be grateful for your expertise in contracting and your generous volunteerism. You have made such a difference in their lives.
Thank You Ryan O"Neill and The O'Neill Foundation for giving us the platform to make a difference.

Tragedy struck our family and my husband died unexpectedly at 43, with our house completely under construction. It was so unbelievable that the O'Neilly Foundation of hope would swoop in and fix all of our shreetrock issues, after learning we had no insulation in our roof. They were so fast and helpful. The help we received has helped us immensely. We are forever grateful. ❣️

I have been working directly with Beth and Ryan for a few months and I'm so grateful for all of the work they do for my son and me. Beth is always willing to listen and care about the struggles we face. They provided funding for housing, transportation costs and more. They donated furniture to us and they even delivered it and carried it inside for us. I pray they can help others in the way they've helped us. They truly go above and beyond. I know they will always be there for us.

Thank you to the O'Neill Foundation of Hope! God bless you for making big changes in our communities one family at a time.

Sincerely,
Natalie Stark

I am forever grateful for The O'Neill Foundation of Hope. They restored my hope in humanity, and blessed me and my son beyond belief!!! We were homeless and I had no idea where we were going; however I had faith in God and He blessed me with The O'Neill Foundation of Hope ( or should I say my earth angels). They paid for a week's stay at a hotel, bought us food, and took me out to find a place. I found one, and Ryan O'Neill co-signed for me! I was so shocked, and awesomely overwhelmed it was amazing. I am humbly forever grateful for this Foundation, because they didn't have to do this for me.... but they did, and lifted my spirits. We love you guys.

To the O'Neill Foundation of Hope, God bless you! Ryan O'Neill was so kind and compassionate to our family. My husband was diagnosed with cancer and was unable to work for a year due to 2 hospitalizations, medical complications, surgery and chemo.
Your generosity of assisting with our mortgage helped us to financially prioritize for other necessary bills. Ryan made us feel like we were the only family who needed help, giving us his full attention. Thank you Ryan! As we approach Thanksgiving, we know to “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). May God shower blessings on the O'Neill Foundation of Hope! We are thankful for you all! The Finstrom Family

I can't even fond enough words to describe what an AMAZING AND DEDICATED group of talented caring type of an organization the ONF is. Going through struggles myself seemed impossible to find help or feel comfortable asking for even but since first point of contact to each and every other conversation going forward they treat you w full respect and make you feel at such ease as well as reassuring you are never alone w them. My situation has been so debilitating and caught me so off guard sending me deeper and deeper into problems making giving up seem like almost my last option. ONF worked so hard for me and did an unthinkable for me which as a guy does t happen much but sent me into tears of thanks and joy. Not to sound cliche either but since then too now I Jve seemed to have a bright sunshine cloud seem to follow w me now too bringing little positives here and there and finally gave me some self motivation too knowing if they didn't give up on me then no way could I now give up on myself. I can't help but to honestly think there sign of such honorable character beong past onto help me and my situation has an empowering contagious effect and I'm beyond grateful to be jave been struck w it. This organization had a spot in my heart forever and I hope one dY i can help pay the favor back so that groups like these cam thrive and keep doing what they do best which is caring for others unconditionally and keep paying it forward for those in future needs. Again I thank u guys for my blessing. These words aren't even close enough tho honestly for how much this meant to me and how truly special you all are who have anything to do w the process and organization and keeping it functioning. None would even be possible if not for you all to begin w

Recommended by our realtor after my husband had a heart anyersium and stroke while at work. It turned our world upside down. This wonderful organization helped soften that blow a little. We are forever in your debt and cannot thank you enough for the kind words and help.🥰

At first, I had never heard of Oneil Foundation of Hope. I was referred by two people, and was able to get a hold of somebody RIGHT AWAY, as I already had a short amount of time.

They stayed in contact with me throughout the whole process, and kept me updated. They were quick to make a decision and help me out at a very much needed time and I can’t thank them enough.

Very friendly, very fast and very understanding.
