🌍 We’re ONE! 🌍 This week, we celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Esperanza en Guatemala, HOPE’S IN’s officially recognized nonprofit entity. What started as a dream by a family in Illinois is now a global organization with employees in the U.S. and Guatemala, recognized by the Guatemalan government and powered by an incredible local board.
None of this would be possible without YOU. Thank you for believing, supporting, and walking this journey with us.
Here’s to what’s next—together 💙

Meet Keilyn, one of our 2025 Fortaleza Scholars — and now a high school graduate and nursing assistant trainee. 🎓✨

As a young mom, she balanced studying, caring for her 3-year-old son, and late-night homework — and she did it with courage and determination.

In her own words: “Achieving this milestone is a big step forward… I’ve acquired new skills and knowledge that I hope will open doors to new job opportunities.”

Her journey shows what’s possible when support meets opportunity. Thank you to our donors and partners for helping make stories like hers possible. 💛

Fortaleza means “strength” — and that’s exactly what this program pours into youth and families in Guatemala. 💛

We’re excited to share a special video filmed on the ground that brings their stories to life.
