Dear Hope's In Community

 

As we reflect on an incredible year of progress and impact, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Year End Giving Fund with the goal of raising over $50,000 before the year ends. This year, with your support, HOPE'S IN has achieved remarkable milestones. We built five homes for families in Guatemala's northeastern region, Chiquimula, as well as the largest playground there, and our partners medical facility. Additionally, we granted over $8,000 to Guatemalan lead medical initiatives, empowered young adults through our Hope’s Interns program, and continued our Hope Ambassador program at three high schools to inspire the next generation of global changemakers. We supported 20 women and their children through our Fortaleza program, offering scholarships, coaching, and mentorship—doubling the number of scholarships given last year.

 

Perhaps most exciting of all, we have officially expanded our presence in Guatemala, establishing a nonprofit entity recognized by the Guatemalan government and forming a local board of dedicated professionals who are committed to our mission.

 

As we look ahead to 2026, we are more determined than ever to empower families in Guatemala and develop future humanitarian leaders. Will you invest in our impact and help us start the new year off strong?

 

Your contribution to the Year End Giving Fund will ensure that we can continue to grow our programs and deepen our impact. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.

 

As you make your final gifts of the year, we invite you to give to HOPE’S IN and be a part of this transformative journey. Your generosity is the key to making the next year even more amazing.

 

 

Best,

 

Ashley Steiner and Courtney McGovern
