@randolph_joe and Allison Casstevens Randolph left yesterday after two weeks at the House of Hope. Their stay last year was cut short because of COVID-19 so it was great to have them here again. They also covered for Steven and Lauren while they had a week off to spend time with family. We are grateful for them, the work they do, and the fun they provide.

Quick Update: Prayers are working! Baby boy is recovering from his pneumonia and gaining weight. His oxygen tubes were removed yesterday and he's done very well. He now weighs 9 pounds and will most likely be coming home on Monday! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers. Keep praying for him, the road back from malnourishment this severe is long.

Welcome to Saturday Snapshots, meet Yumina. Yumina is the quietest and most reserved person that we’ll introduce you to but she is very playful and funny when the mood strikes. Her favorite foods are salad and strawberry cake and she couldn’t think of a food she doesn’t like. She enjoys the color yellow, Frozen II, playing Capture the Flag, and math class. Yumina would love to be a teacher when she’s older.
We are looking for a sponsor for Yumina, if you’re interested, send us a message!
Each Saturday we will be showcasing one of the residents of the House of Hope. The children have helped us create these snapshots and all information is provided by them. Nothing is shared without their permission.

School supplies are going on sale! Can you pick up some extras for Send Hope? Each year we donate as many school supplies as possible to surrounding schools and communities. We are anticipating the need to be higher than ever next year; February 2022 will bring more kids back to the classroom and our area continues to suffer an economic crisis after Hurricanes Eta and Iota.

We've had a couple of groups return since the quarantine has started lessening in Honduras. This group of dentists from Ohio is the first group to hold a clinic post-pandemic! We are so grateful for them, their hearts, and the service that they provided to hundreds of patients during their time here.

Dr. Tom Brian left yesterday to go back to the USA. We had a great visit with him for two weeks. As always, he worked hard getting any and all dental issues fixed. He also did many other projects while he was here and we all had some time to visit with him and discuss a myriad of organizational topics. It's always great to have him here and we've been especially enjoying our time with him after such a long absence during quarantine. Until next time Dr. Tom! We love you and miss you!

Urgent Prayer Request: this sweet little guy came to stay with us last Monday after spending a couple of weeks in the hospital. He is severely malnourished and yesterday was diagnosed with pneumonia. He is continuing to gain weight and is receiving the best care in the hospital. We ask for prayers for his full and speedy recovery so that we can get him back to the House of Hope and fatten him up as much as possible. When he came into the House of Hope he was 6 months old and weighed 6lbs 8oz.

A huge thank you to Gilma Zavala and Ale López who spent the past two weeks working alongside Tom Brian. Together they cleaned all of our residents and employees teeth and did any necessary treatment. We are so grateful for this huge act of love!

Muchísimas gracias Gilma, Ale, y Tom!

Yubiri is a resident of the House of Hope. We are in awe of her photos and grateful for the opportunities that Instituto Vida Abundante offers our kids ❤️

SOAP MAKING!! The kids and employees had a great time making their own bath soaps last week! They got to choose their scent, mold, and color to make their own personalized bar of soap. It was so much fun!

Over the course of the past month, two new and separate cases have been temporarily placed with us at the House of Hope. We are excited to have them with us and strive to be a place of refuge for them in their time of need. Please lift them up in prayer as each of their cases are resolved and these girls move into a new chapter. Their identities will remain anonymous for their privacy and protection.

We took the kids for another beach day after all their hard work unloading the container. We had so much fun that this is the only picture we got!

Welcome to Saturday Snapshots, meet Exa. Exa is so much fun. She’s funny, energetic, and loves a good prank. Her favorite foods are rice and beans and chocolate cake. Exa loves the color sky blue, but really any color other than black is good in her book. She enjoys a good game of soccer and doesn’t like to just be sitting; she wants to be active and moving. Science class is her favorite subject while math isn’t her preference. She’d like to be a doctor and able to visit the United States someday!

We are sad to announce that Angel, our very loyal and protective dog, passed away in May. Angel had been pregnant and after a very difficult labor, she passed away and unfortunately none of her puppies survived either. We are all so saddened to lose her; she was the perfect combination of pet and protector. Angel is survived by her 3 sons who continue to roam and fiercely protect the House of Hope from petty theft throughout the night. Rest in Peace, Angel.

Last week Lauren returned to Honduras. On her way back to the House of Hope, she was able to enjoy a meal with Tirza and Bryan in La Ceiba. While we've kept in close contact with them during the pandemic, it was so nice to hug them and visit with them again.

Welcome to Saturday Snapshots, meet Tirza! Tirza is one of our university students. She and her brother, Bryan (another university student), live and study in La Ceiba, Honduras. Tirza is a joy to be around; she is outgoing, energetic, responsible, and caring. She enjoys reading books and writing. Last year she competed in a poetry contest and performed beautifully. Her favorite actor is Chris Evans. The typical Honduran dish, baleadas, are her favorite food and she also loves chocolate cake. Tirza does not enjoy ironing, the color green, or anything with oregano in it. She hopes to visit Italy someday. Here are Tirza’s words on her future: “I want to be a psychologist in the clinical area to be able to work with children and to have my own children’s organization in such a way that I can create new projects such as the construction of new schools, new clinics, and help anyone [in] need…”.
Tirza is already sponsored but if you are interested in sponsoring a great kid, send us a message. If you’re interested but need more information, just let us know, we’d love to chat with you!
