Welcome to East Texas Alliance of Hope.
Closing the Gap. Restoring the Family.
We're East Texas Alliance of Hope — your Care Coordinator in Angelina and Nacogdoches counties. Whether you need a doctor, food, a ride, help with rent or the electric bill, oncology navigation, or someone to walk with your family, you're in the right place. One call. One coordinator. Real connection.
Free to use. No account needed. A real person will follow up.
Not sure where to start?
Pick what sounds most like you.
Services are not guaranteed, and timing depends on partner availability. We can often begin support within 24–48 hours, though some requests — like transportation — may take up to 48 hours to coordinate. Nothing is instant, but we will stay with you every step of the way.
What we can help with
Real people, real needs. Pick a category to see who's out there — or just tell us what you need and we'll walk you through it.

For our seniors — you've carried others long enough.
Our seniors are the heart of Deep East Texas. If you're facing paperwork, benefits, or health decisions that feel overwhelming, you don't have to sort it out alone. A Care Coordinator will sit with you, explain things in plain language, and stay with you until it's settled. Always free of charge — just like every service we offer.
Social Security, SSI & SSDI
Applications, appeals, missing paperwork, and understanding letters you've received.
Medicare & Medicaid
Enrollment, coverage questions, denials, and finding doctors who take your plan.
Veteran benefits
Connecting you and your spouse to the VA benefits and local veteran services you've earned.
Staying independent
In-home help, meals, rides, home safety, and support so you can stay in your own home longer.
Bring us the envelope you don't understand, the bill you can't pay, or the appointment you can't get to. We'll take it one step at a time, at your pace — and we'll call you back to make sure it worked.
Free of charge. No account needed. A real person will follow up with you.
What "coordinated care" actually means
You start with one person at the Alliance. That person stays with you until the connection is real — not just another phone number to try.
1. You reach out
Fill out the short form or call. Tell us what's going on in your own words.
2. We listen
A Care Coordinator calls you back — usually within one business day — to understand the whole picture.
3. We connect you
Because we already have relationships with the right agencies, we make a warm introduction on your behalf.
4. You get served
You meet the partner, get the food, ride, appointment, or assistance you actually need.
5. We follow up
We check back in. If something didn't work, we try again — with you, not at you.
What makes East Texas Alliance of Hope different
You could Google a phone number and get a wall of dead ends. What you can't get anywhere else in Deep East Texas is a local team that already knows the door to knock on — and will knock on it with you.
We offer Care Coordination, Case Management, Non-Clinical Oncology Navigation, Resource Connection, and Holistic Wraparound Support for individuals and families. Free to the community. Built by neighbors with lived experience.
