Helping a mother in Puerto Lempira build a safe home

Dear friends,

We are reaching out on behalf of Send Hope and our ministry partners in Puerto Lempira, Honduras. Our team met a mother and her 3 young children who are living in a small, deteriorating structure that offers very little protection from weather or safety concerns.

With Habitat for Humanity no longer building homes in the area at this time, families like hers have almost no options.
We would like to build them a simple, safe home. A wooden structure costs about $5000 and a concrete block home about $7000. Every contribution (large or small) moves this family closer to stability and dignity.

If you feel led to help, please consider donating and sharing this need with others. Together, we can give this family a secure place to live. https://www.send-hope.org/donate

***Habitat for Humanity Connections***

If you or someone you know has connections with your local Habitat group, please let us know or contact them. Please ask if they could direct their tithe of undesignated funds to International Habitat and have it go to Puerto Lempira, Honduras.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

🏡 Building a Future of Hope in Puerto Lempira

At Casa Esperanza, we are more than just a group of buildings—we are a sanctuary, a family, and a safe haven for the community.

Every single day, thanks to your support, we are able to provide:

Essential Care: Nutritious meals for starving children. Medical care for the medically fragile. Clothing for those in need.

Education & Growth: Vital school supplies and educational opportunities to build brighter futures.

Healing & Guidance: Compassionate counseling and therapy services for lasting emotional well-being of the inhabitants of Casa Esperanza.

Creating a safe space where children can heal, learn, and thrive takes immense resources—both in volunteer hours and financial support.

To keep these lifesaving programs running smoothly, we need a reliable foundation. Predictable monthly income allows us to plan ahead, expand our reach, and secure the future for every child in our care.

Happy Monday! Share a moment of joy with us.

From Send Hope's Honduran Leadership team:
"This is the family we found: they have six children—all aged six or younger—plus an eight-month-old baby.

As part of the donation from Casa Esperanza, we brought shoes, clothing, toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, stuffed animals, and sweets. The young people from Casa Esperanza also lovingly pitched in to help the children change into new clothes so we could take a photo to remember the moment.

It was a truly special and meaningful experience that allowed us to spend time with the family and offer them a small gesture of support and affection."

Our girl is getting her smile back.

Thank you to all of you who have prayed, spread the word, and supported her in so many ways. You have raised $990 towards the $1400 cost of surgery and transportation.

Thank you to for providing such gracious care to our girl. We are grateful for your kindness and expediency.

In the pictures, you can see our precious youth rising from bed the morning after her surgery, still groggy, but better than the day before. The next picture is her arriving back home as Casa Esperanza, her face still a little swollen from being sick, but she's not flush anymore and her smile is returning. She is currently resting well at home.

We're almost there. Please continue to help us by:
- Donating - Help us recoup the unforeseen cost of this medical emergency by giving what you can: send-hope.org/donate
- Spreading the word - please tell your friends and family what Casa Esperanza is doing. Forward this to someone who can help
- Pray - Please continue to pray for her continued recovery

Thank you for helping Send Hope and our youth get well.

🚨 UPDATE: Our Youth's Surgery was a Success! 🙏✨

We have wonderful news to share: Our youth is out of surgery and recovering well! 🩺❤️

Her surgeon let us know that her appendix was severely inflamed and likely close to bursting. Getting her to the hospital when we did truly made all the difference, and we are so relieved that the operation went smoothly.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has prayed, shared, and donated so far! Your fast response and surrounding love made this outcome possible.

Because we had to act quickly to save her life, we are still working to reach our full fundraising goal. We still need to recover $1,400 to fully cover her emergency surgical care, transportation, and post-op clinic stay.

💙 How You Can Keep Helping:

Donate: If you’re able, any amount helps cover the remaining cost of her care. send-hope.org/donate

Share: Spread the word by sharing this update with your friends and community!

Pray: Please keep praying for her comfort, strength, and a quick recovery over the coming days.

We will keep you updated as she continues to heal. Thank you for being the heart of Send Hope!

💔 Emergency Update: One of our youth Needs Our Help!

Friends of Send Hope, we need to lean on our community today for something unexpected.

One of our beloved youth has recently taken ill and was diagnosed with appendicitis. She is currently at the clinic receiving wonderful care and comfort, but she urgently needs to be transported to the larger town nearby for an emergency operation with a capable surgeon.

The great news is that doctors expect her to make a full recovery once she gets this surgery! 🩺✨

However, urgent medical emergencies like this are hard to predict, and they fall outside our standard operating budget. To recover the costs of her emergency procedure and keep Send Hope running, we need to raise $1,400 urgently.

💙 How You Can Help:

Donate: Any amount—whether $10, $50, or $100—gets her one step closer to her operation. send-hope.org/donate

Share: Even if you can’t give right now, sharing this post with your network helps us reach our goal faster!

Pray: Lift her up in prayer for a successful surgery, smooth travel, and a swift, full recovery.

Thank you so much for being the heart and hands of Send Hope when emergency strikes! We’ll keep you all updated on her journey and recovery. 🙏✨

Join me in a prayer from Yessi, Leadership at the House of Hope: (translated from Spanish)
"Team, let us entrust her life to God and pray that everything goes well. Before she enters the operating room, let’s take a minute of silence to pray and ask God to be with her, protect her, and guide the hands of the medical staff during the procedure.
Let us trust that everything is in His hands. 🙏"

🏡 Exciting news from Casa Esperanza!

If you’ve stayed in our Guest House over the years, you might remember it was showing a little wear and tear—complete with some unwelcome roommates like termites and bats!

We are thrilled to share that the Guest House is almost completely rebuilt! To ensure this beautiful structure stays strong, safe, and welcoming for decades to come, we are currently in the middle of the final step: painting the exterior.

Because of our climate and past pest issues, we are using specialized termite- and moisture-resistant paint to protect the new building from the elements.

🛠️ How You Can Help

The total cost to complete this essential painting phase is $650.

Would you help us cover this cost? Your gift today ensures this rebuild stands strong for the next 30 years of hosting, serving, and making memories together.
