Mother’s Day

Yaa Dora is a mother of eight children from Berekuso, Ghana. She recently needed funds to settle the fees for one of her children who had gained admission to a senior high school.

Fortunately, Yaa saves money each week with a Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA), a savings group that gives her access to loans at reasonable rates (as opposed to traditional banks that charge excessive rates and fees.) Just Hope, a local nonprofit I love to support, helped her community set up the VSLA.  Yaa paid the loan back within 3 months, and was grateful for the VSLA that allowed her to continue her child’s education.

Will you make a donation to Just Hope International in honor of your mother, or another remarkable woman in your life? We’ll send her a card to let her know about your generous gift. And you can be sure 100% of your gift will go to projects that benefit mothers like Yaa Dora.

I believe that the best way to help people in poverty around the world is to offer a hand UP, not a hand OUT. Will you support my fundraiser to give a hand up to people in Sierra Leone, Ghana, Togo, Panama and Honduras? Any amount is greatly appreciated! Thank you! [insert your fundraiser link]


Creating LASTING change for people in poverty around the world comes from increasing their ability to provide for themselves and their family. That’s the mission of Just Hope. Please help me make an “impact that lasts” by supporting my fundraiser. [insert your fundraiser link]

Help me economically empower remarkable people in some of the world’s most difficult living conditions. I’m asking my friends and family to support my fundraiser and give a hand up to heroes in Sierra Leone, Ghana, Togo, Panama and Honduras. Thank you!! [insert your fundraiser link]


Handouts do nothing to relieve entrenched poverty. But a HAND UP in the form of economic empowerment is the path to long-term change that gives people hope, dignity and independence.

I’m trying to raise $x for Just Hope International, an organization I support that connects people living in poverty around the world with training, tools and opportunities to provide a better life for themselves. Will you give $10 to help me reach my goal? [insert your fundraiser link]


Handouts send the message that recipients have nothing of value to offer in return for the gift, and rob recipients of an opportunity to claim the dignity, pride and independence that come from doing their part to improve their circumstances. I invite you to join me and do charity a different way, with Just Hope International. Their mission is to create LASTING change for people in poverty around the world by increasing their ability to provide for themselves and their family, not by giving handouts.

I’d like to introduce you to Foday, a pastor in Sierra Leone. As a child, he couldn’t pay for school, and was even hit for continuing to show up. But today, he leads a network of pastors and leaders responsible for building 20 schools and planting 50 churches. All in just the last 5 years!

He’s working with Just Hope International, an organization I support, to bring agricultural and financial training for his fellow pastors, so they can take what they learn back to their communities. Foday and Just Hope are making an “impact that lasts!”

Help me support Just Hope, as they partner with Foday and other heroes like him, to economically empower people living in some of the world’s most difficult living conditions. Please support my fundraiser here: [insert your fundraiser link] Thank you!

Meet Raul. He had a tough upbringing marked by violence and gangs, which is sadly all too common for boys in Honduras. But, he came to know the Lord and devoted himself to mixed martial arts, even earning the top rank in his category across Honduras.

After finding his life purpose, Raul wanted to help other boys like himself. He currently runs a ministry for young men who age out of orphanages and need to learn skills to be independent. Just Hope, an organization I support, is working with Raul to develop an economic model so his ministry can grow.

Help me support Just Hope, as they partner with Raul and other heroes like him, to bring training, tools and opportunities to people who want to provide a better life for themselves. Please support my fundraiser here: [insert your fundraiser link] Thank you!

I’d like to introduce you to Joseph (center), a farmer in Sierra Leone. Joseph needed to pay his children’s school fees, but he wouldn’t have the money until his crops matured the next month. Fortunately, Joseph is a member of a Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA). He was able to take a loan of 100 gh (25 USD) from his VSLA to pay the school fees, and will repay it after the harvest.

Just Hope, an organization I support, helps communities like Joseph’s start VSLAs so they can better manage money and have reliable access to funds for things like farming supplies, education and health care.

Help me support Just Hope, as they partner with Joseph and other people like him, to bring training, tools and opportunities to people who want to provide a better life for themselves. Please support my fundraiser here: [insert your fundraiser link] Thank you!
