Common Hope

As we close out 2025, we’re reflecting with gratitude on a year filled with brilliant moments. We celebrated graduations, welcomed more than 150 new sponsors, strengthened families through housing, health, and family development programs, and gathered together for record-breaking events that brought our community closer than ever. Each step forward this year was made possible by supporters who believe in the potential of students and families in Guatemala. Tonight, you can help carry that momentum into the year ahead. A generous donor is matching all year-end gifts dollar-for-dollar, up to $5,000. Make your gift before midnight and help us finish the year strong as we prepare for our 40th anniversary. https://lnkd.in/gz7jAupz

Today, on Guatemala’s Independence Day, we celebrate not only a nation’s freedom but also the spirit of resilience, hope, and possibility that shines through its people. At Common Hope, we see these same values alive in the students and families we walk alongside every day. Independence is not only about history — it’s about building futures. And for Guatemala’s youth, education is the key to achieving it. Across our sites, families, students, and staff came together this week to honor the day with themed parties, traditional music and dance, and the proud display of blue and white flags. These celebrations were more than festive gatherings. They were a reminder of the culture, pride, and unity that inspire our work every day. That’s why our STAND Campaign is so important. Together, we are working toward 50 new student sponsorships, 50 new Pathway Members, and $50,000 to fund education programs. Each commitment brings us closer to a future where every child can pursue their dreams with confidence. https://lnkd.in/gFydGDkp

We spend our lives pouring love into the people, passions, and causes that matter most. But how often do we pause to ask—what will carry forward when we’re no longer here? This August, during Make-A-Will Month, we invite you to “Planned Giving 101: Create Your Legacy with Common Hope,” a space to reflect on how planned giving can create opportunity for generations of students and families in Guatemala.
