The Ilalle Hill Organization is a Colorado 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in October 2023. It is driven by compassion, resilience, hope, love, and gratitude. The organization's name, "Ilalle," which means "thank you" in the Didinga language of South Sudan, holds great significance. It was chosen in deep gratitude for God's healing, providence, care, support, prayers, contributions, love, and counseling received from people around the world.
Our work involves the following:
Transformative Impacts in Disability Advocacy, Healthcare, and Education for Refugees and Immigrants in Colorado and Displaced Refugees in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya, and northern Uganda settlements.
The Ilalle Hill Organization symbolizes God's revelation of power, intervention, and the transformational force of thankfulness, solidarity, and unshakable faith. The life of Ilalle Jeremiah Lokonobei, the eldest child of the Lojohomoi and Concenta families, inspired and reinforced the foundation of faith in God. Ilalle was born with a genetic disorder, Downs syndrome, which affects physical, mental, and developmental growth. Born in 2017 at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Denver, Colorado, his journey included months in the hospital, inspiring the family to assist others facing similar challenges.
The history of the Ilalle Hill Organization is deeply rooted in the solidarity, enthusiasm, and prayers of the Lojohomoi and Concenta families. Faced with health difficulties, the family united with a shared dedication to Ilalle's welfare, supported by love, prayers, and steadfast support from the church and community members. This shared determination defined their journey as they overcame emerging challenges.
The family found comfort and resilience through prayers, strengthening them during uncertain times. Their commitment to ensuring Ilalle grew up as a happy and healthy child evolved into a larger mission beyond their close friends and family. Their perseverance was the driving force behind the founding of the Ilalle Hill Organization, a testament to their shared desire to improve the lives of others facing similar difficulties.

In the bustling halls of the children’s hospital, my wife and I anxiously awaited the discharge paperwork for our six-month-old Jeremiah. His tiny frame had weathered more than its fair share of challenges, but today marked a significant turning point. We were eager to begin our journey to Seattle, specifically Pasco, where a much-anticipated prayer conference awaited us.
Driven by hope and faith, we believed that the power of collective prayer could bring about the healing Jeremiah so desperately needed. As we boarded the plane, we were overwhelmed with a mix of emotions—nervousness, excitement, and a deep-seated hope for a miracle.
Upon arrival in Pasco, the prayer conference was a beacon of light. Surrounded by a supportive community, we felt an undeniable sense of peace and divine intervention. From that pivotal day forward, Jeremiah's health took a miraculous turn. He received his healing, and to our amazement and gratitude, he has never been admitted to the hospital again. Jeremiah’s journey is a testament to the power of faith, prayer, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Two months later, Jeremiah was admitted again to the same hospital, he stayed calm on the hospital bed with his favorite giraffe toy, and we were beside his bed, hoping and praying for another miracle. His journey continues to be a testament to the power of faith, prayer, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Here Ilalle was finally home in Boulder two days after being discharged from the hospital, relaxing on the couch. He cuddled his favorite bunny and dog, finding comfort in their soft embrace after his ordeal. The warmth of home and the familiar presence of his cherished toys brought a sense of peace and healing to his recovering spirit.
