Rick and Natalia
Almost every child who arrives at Hope has significant educational gaps. But with the right support, they can catch up, thrive, and discover who God created them to be.
When Rick came to Hope in February 2023, he was nearly two years behind in school.
“Rick was behind in every subject when he came to Hope. He even had to go to speech therapy. But now he has straight A’s!”
—Rick’s teacher
Because of caring friends like you, Rick is thriving and discovering the person God created him to be.
Natalia came to Hope in July 2024 from Colombia. The transition wasn’t easy.
She faced language barriers and needed a lot of one-on-one help.
But she didn’t give up—and neither did we. Today, her hard work is paying off.
“Natalia is originally from Colombia and she’s really struggled with academics all around. But she’s worked very hard and now has A’s, B’s, and C’s!”
—Natalia’s teacher
Your gift can help more students like Rick and Natalia rise above the challenges they came here with.
