Hope Children’s Home (03.25)
Even in the best of circumstances, the teenage years can be challenging. But for Timothy, they were marked by instability and heartache. At just 15 years old, Timothy’s family situation reached a crisis point. With no stable home and no clear path forward, he suddenly found himself alone—unsure of where to go, how to survive, or what his future might hold. Desperate for guidance, Timothy reached out to his former pastor in another state.
“I asked him if he knew of anywhere I could go,” Timothy recalls. “He thought of Hope and set things up for me to come live here.” When Timothy arrived at Hope over two years ago, he was safe, but his confidence was shaken. He struggled with direction and purpose, unsure of where he truly belonged. But everything changed last summer. Thanks to the support of caring friends like you, Timothy had the opportunity to attend church camp and a Christian youth conference. It was there that he made a life-changing decision—rededicating his life to the Lord and stepping into a renewed sense of purpose. “I’ve grown stronger with the Lord,” Timothy shares. “I’ve learned to serve Him and realized I need to do all things for His glory.”
With this newfound faith, Timothy’s confidence blossomed. He learned how to connect with others, made close friends, and embraced the bright future ahead of him. “Hope has helped me grow in my confidence and helped me learn how to connect with people easier. I am so thankful to have made friends.” And now, Timothy wants to share his gratitude with you. “For everyone who supports Hope, I’m praying for you. God can use you in a great way!” Because of your generosity, Timothy—and so many other children—are building strong, faith-filled foundations for their futures. Thank you for being a part of their journey toward hope.
