Hope For Home Staff and Children: For following through on your commitments to make this project possible. More importantly, for welcoming us into your homes, families, and hearts, and allowing us to witness the incredible orphanage community you are building. For the hospitality, incredible food, patience with our questions, and courage to take a chance on your first-ever construction team. For your openness in sharing vivid personal experiences about earthquakes, church, gangs, death, wildfires, successes, prisons, and lives saved.

���ϳԹ� Executive Team: For dedicating the resources needed to allow this trip to happen. Your commitment to expanding the worldview of ���ϳԹ� team members while helping the global community speaks volumes about your leadership. Thank you for your vision and for continuing to drive our Mission, “To Dramatically Improve the Communities We Serve.”

���ϳԹ� Mission Trip Team: For your dedication to our core values and for representing the care of our ���ϳԹ� culture in a community abroad. For sacrificing your creature comforts and being open to learning, growth, and change.

All ���ϳԹ� Team Members: For your encouragement before, during, and after the trip, and for providing donations and participating in fundraisers to help us further the impact of the mission. Your generosity was so great that we were able to purchase the entire wish list, plus more — enough to fill nine large duffel bags with donations. After all of this, there were still funds remaining that we brought along with us so we could address any needs we discovered while at Hope For Home. Through a conversation with the organization’s Assistant Director, we learned that limb loss — because of infection or chronic illness — in children in Guatemala is an issue, and there is a large need for prosthetics.
The custom devices provided to Hope For Home’s children quickly become unusable because kids change as they grow. The organization had 3D scanner and 3D printing capabilities but needed a new iPad to run the scanning and design software. With the remaining funds that ���ϳԹ� teammates donated, we were able to locally source a brand-new iPad and surprise the Hope For Home team with it on our final evening there.

Our Families: For the sacrifices you made to allow us to go around the world for two weeks — a true mission itself. Your support was instrumental to the success of the mission. We know you will benefit and grow with us because of our experiences.

Dr. Roger and Katy Pacholka: For donating your time to provide medical consults for our team ahead of the trip and helping us with a consult while we were in Guatemala. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do across this planet.

THANK YOU! We will continue sharing our story with our ���ϳԹ� teammates, clients, industry partners, and more over the next few months. This chapter is closing, but the story is not finished — the impact made on our team will last a lifetime!
