About
Mikayla’s House of Hope
Kimberly McAliley- Millner
Founder of Mikayla’s House of Hope.
I’m Kimberly McAliley- Millner, Founder of Mikayla’s House of Hope.
My loving and supportive husband and CFO, Frederick Millner is my best friend and I am grateful for his partnership in Life, ministry and business. We are the parents of our wonderful Son Alexander Josiah, who we were blessed with through adoption.
Being an adopting parent I’ve had the opportunity to be an advocate and spokesperson for The Alliance for Children’s Rights, A Home for the Holidays, All for the Love of Kids, and Child Share, now Foster all.
I’ve always had a desire to reach out to young ladies in the foster care system, especially those that age out and are in transitional housing. God put it on my heart the need to create an environment to be a blessing to many girls with a safe place to call home.
Who We Are
The Vision of Mikayla’s House of Hope was inspired by Kimberly's desire to have a daughter. Through "The Tiara and Tea Affair” her former tea party business, she had the opportunity to host young ladies from Optimist youth homes & family services. At this event they enjoyed motivational speaking that encouraged and inspired music, fashion and learned the etiquette of an afternoon tea
Mikayla’s House of Hope is place where the lives of young ladies aging out and emancipating from foster care would be Mentored, Encouraged, Inspired and Empowered
It's a place where we restore hope, values and peace in their lives in a safe place to grow and thrive and make a meaningful impact in society .

Cynthia Watts

Cynthia Ann Watts and her husband in 1998 decided to Foster to adopt. Doing the process Cynthia and her husband decided to research the process of adoption and realized that a lot of kids needed a forever home filled with love. Cynthia realized that a lot of young ladies aging out of Foster Care with no opportunities for success and wanted to personally be involved with an organization that could Facilitate opportunities. When Kimberly spoke with Cynthia regarding the Heart of MHH, Cynthia realized that she had to be apart. .

Tameka Goring
Board of Directors
Shameka’s passion and excitement to serve comes from her personal experience of homelessness. She dealt with being mistreated and misjudged at a time when she needed someone to care and show her empathy. Tameka has previously worked for a nonprofit downtown Los Angeles called The Union Rescue Mission. She worked there as a Case Manager and found her passion in working with young ladies that had aged out of foster care and ended up at their homeless shelter. As a Mother of 2, and having a daughter the same age as these young ladies she ‘d see coming off the hard streets of skid row really tugged on her heart. Since then she’s desired to start a housing program of her own, to be able to support, guide and encourage these beautiful young souls along their life journey. When the Vision of Mikayla’s House of Hope was shared with her, she knew she had to get involved.
