Meet our Founder
Janesha Spady
Janesha is the Founder of Jireh’s Place of Hope. With over 15 years of experience in child welfare and social services—including investigative and leadership roles with the Florida and Connecticut Departments of Children and Families—she has dedicated her life to protecting and advocating for vulnerable children.
But her mission is more than professional—it’s personal.
Long before her career began, Janesha was a teacher and youth leader who saw firsthand how guidance, encouragement, and love can transform a child’s future. Having once longed for that same steady support herself, she founded Jireh’s Place of Hope to create what she once needed: a safe, faith-rooted space where children are nourished, valued, and reminded that they were created with purpose.
Jireh’s Place of Hope exists not just to help children survive—but to help them thrive.
And this is only the beginning.
When you support Jireh’s Place of Hope, you are partnering with us to change lives—one child at a time—by reminding them they are seen, loved, and full of purpose.
