Dear Hope First supporters,

As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, we cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for each and every one of you. Your unwavering support has been so encouraging, and we wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks.

Your belief in our mission has provided us with such strength and motivation! Your continued support, whether it be through kind words, financial contributions, physical labor at the building, material donations, prayers, or simply spreading the word about our cause, has made a significant impact on our ability to make a difference. The phone calls and emails we continue to get from people who want to donate supplies, organize a diaper drive, make baby blankets, offer supplies and resources, and more, is so inspiring! Although our doors are not open yet, we have been able to help women who call with questions regarding services, where to get an ultrasound, daycare needs, etc. We can't wait until the day we can welcome our clients in! We are so close!

On this special day of giving thanks, we want you to know that we cherish your support and consider you an integral part of our extended family. Your belief in our vision and dedication to our cause is a constant source of inspiration for us all. We are truly grateful for the trust and faith you have placed in us. As we reflect on our blessings, we are reminded of the incredible impact we can make when we come together in support for a common goal. 

And above all else, we thank the Lord for His provisions and the doors that have opened (and closed!) along the way. We are keeping our eyes on Him, as we know that everything we do through Hope First is a direct reflection of our love in Christ and how He has called us to love those in need. 

"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech, but with actions and in truth." 1 John 3:18

So, from the depths of our hearts, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. May this Thanksgiving be a time of joy, love, and gratitude for all the blessings in your life. We can't wait to see what the next year brings!

Happy Thanksgiving!

With sincere appreciation,
