The history of Garden of Hope Central Texas began with a husband and wife who opened their home to foster children who needed a safe and loving home in their time of need. After fostering over 90 children and adopting 11 the passion continued to burn in Mr. Ocasio and Mrs. Ocasio the founders. In 2016 Mr. Wilfredo Ocasio (Junior) established GOH as a non-profit and began a two and a half-year journey to open an emergency foster care shelter to keep sibling groups together. In 2019 that dream became a reality, opening the first GOH establishment in Salado, Texas. In 2020 the second emergency shelter was opened in Killeen, Texas. From February 1, 2019-August 18, 2022, Garden of Hope has served over 640 children with the help of dedicated staff, wonderful volunteers, and a strong community. His last wish to his wife was to carry on Garden of Hope in his honor.

We ask that the community continue to support Garden of Hope of Central Texas to carry on his Legacy so that children in the foster care system will always have a safe haven in Central Texas.
