Here’s a Look at What You Helped Make Possible

Dear Friends,

As we pass the halfway point of the year, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you—not just for what you’ve given, but for what you’ve made possible.

Because of your support to our General Funds, you’re helping fuel the core of ImpactHope. While some donations go directly to specific programs, your gift goes deeper—it strengthens the foundation that allows all of our work to happen.

Your generosity supports the unsung but essential parts of our mission: transferring funds to project sites, equipping leaders on the ground, providing oversight and accountability, supporting local partners in moments of crisis, and saying “yes” when unexpected opportunities arise. This is the work of our ImpactHope Operations Campaign—and it’s the engine that powers change across every community we serve.

You’re not just part of one story—you’re part of every story. Every child enrolled in school, every woman empowered, every patient treated, every meal shared… it all begins with this kind of foundational support.

I’m sharing a brief mid-year report so you can see just a glimpse of what your giving is accomplishing around the world. I think you’ll be encouraged.

Thank you for being part of this journey. You are truly making an impact!

With gratitude,

Brad
Executive Director

It’s a moment to look at the faces behind the metrics and recognize that the “hope” we talk about is a living, breathing reality…

Terry’s journey with Shelter of Hope

Left in the care of her aging grandmother, a widow struggling to make ends meet, Terry’s early years were marked by hardship…

Tatiana's Story

From a very young age, Tatiana had a heart for serving children. After a short trip to help at an orphanage in Haiti in 2014, she was ready to go all in to serve the less fortunate children of the world. Tatiana was the driving force behind the family moving to Peru, and she loved the children of Peru.

In the summer of 2018, Tatiana Blackburn died tragically in a car accident. To honour her memory, the Blackburns started a fund called Tat’s Kids Peru. This fund was designated for the children at Tat’s Place to support the ongoing operation of the home.
