Introducing one of the inspiring speakers at our Women’s Conference!
Cheryl Hickman is the Founder and Executive
Director of Hope for Her Florida, a life-
changing ministry dedicated to
supporting women in crisis. She has
been married to Robert Hickman for
13 years, and together they have
raised three grown sons.
Cheryl’s passion for serving women
stems from her own powerful journey.
As a single mother, she faced the
struggles of addiction, job loss, and
domestic violence. When she hit rock
bottom, she surrendered her life to the Lord,
experiencing profound healing through God’s
love and the support of a compassionate community.
Determined to help other women find the same hope and transformation, Cheryl earned her Master’s degree in Human Services, with her thesis laying the foundation for Hope for Her. In 2003, she opened its doors as a safe haven where women could seek support without fear of judgment or condemnation.
Since its inception, Hope for Her has served over 75,000 women and children in Hillsborough County. Today, through the dedication of staff, volunteers, and community partners, the ministry continues to make a profound impact, assisting nearly 9,000 individuals each year. Cheryl remains committed to empowering women, helping them break free from crisis, and guiding them toward lasting stability and hope.
About Hope for Her
Hope for Her is a safe place where women experiencing crisis and trauma find the strength, skills, and support they need to rebuild their best lives. As a nonprofit founded by women who have overcome serious life challenges, we work one-on-one with those in need to help restore confidence and self-worth, remove barriers to safety and survival, and rebuild critical life skills.
From housing, childcare, and employment to food, transportation, and clothing, we walk alongside women and their families every step of the journey—whether for a season or a lifetime. Together, we transform overwhelming circumstances into opportunities, ensuring every woman can live out God’s purpose for her life—today, tomorrow, and always.
