Keli Wright
Founding Director
Hatching Hope
Professional Bio
Keli Lynch-Wright is a passionate humanitarian, visionary leader, and the heartbeat behind
Hatching Hope, a nationally recognized disaster relief and humanitarian aid nonprofit organization.
With deep roots in the multifamily housing industry and a heart forever changed by personal loss,
Keli turned her greatest heartbreak into a powerful, multifamily-driven movement of hope.
After losing her family home in a devastating fire, Keli—alongside her young son, Ashton—found
strength in the ashes and built something extraordinary: a mission that brings comfort, dignity,
and immediate support to families displaced by disaster. What began as a mother and son
delivering air mattresses and blankets from their dining room has grown into a boots-on-the-
ground operation that rallies the multifamily industry to serve tens of thousands across the
Southeastern United States and beyond.
Under Keli’s leadership, Hatching Hope has redefined disaster relief—not just as a response, but
as an act of compassion, community, and industry-wide purpose. Her unwavering belief that
every family deserves a safe place to land fuels the organization’s mission to deliver refuge kits,
cleanup supplies, pet relief, and emotional support in times of crisis.
Whether she’s mobilizing volunteers, building partnerships with property management teams, or
comforting survivors firsthand, Keli brings empathy, excellence, and boundless energy to every
endeavor. Her work has inspired Fortune 500 companies, multifamily leaders, and community
organizations to step in, show up, and serve.
At the heart of this movement is Keli—a mother, a servant leader, and a relentless force for good—
unifying the multifamily industry around one powerful belief: that together, we can bring hope HOME.
