Thank you for helping them reach this milestone.
One of the great highlights at Hope Children's Home is when our teens graduate from high school. Thanks to friends like you, they reach this milestone equipped and empowered to step into the future with faith, ambition, and maturity.
Natalia was born in Colombia and adopted by an American family when she was about 11 years old. At first, everything seemed to be going well — but over time it became clear she was carrying a lot of hurt that her family wasn't equipped to help her work through. That's when she came to Hope.
"At first I was skeptical," she says. "But eventually, I began to truly love being here."
Today, Natalia graduates not just with a diploma, but with a foundation of faith, confidence, and community that will carry her far beyond these walls.
"I would like to thank all of Hope's donors for your continued support and generosity. Because of your help, students like me have the opportunity to attend an amazing Christian school and graduate. Your support truly makes a lasting difference in our lives."
Before coming to Hope, Jionni spent two years at an outdoor behavior camp for troubled boys — an experience that helped him grow mentally and spiritually. But it left him far behind academically. When he arrived at Hope, he was held back two full years just to catch up.
What happened next is the kind of transformation that only happens when the right support surrounds the right person at the right time.
Jionni's turnaround is a testament to what patient, consistent, Christ-centered care can do. And he knows exactly who made it possible.
"I'm grateful to Hope for giving me a second chance and for the donors that make it possible for me to be here. Thank you!"
Help the next student reach this milestone.
Natalia and Jionni's stories don't happen without the faithful generosity of people like you. Right now, there are children at Hope who are on their own journey toward graduation — and they need your support to get there.
