My dear family and friends,

Please support the Hope Border Institute with a donation this El Paso Giving Day. I have had the pleasure of serving on the board of directors since its inception. Help me to further develop our programming and services.

This year, on Thursday, October 17, HOPE is thrilled to participate in the Paso del Norte Community Foundation’s El Paso Giving Day, an online giving campaign that ignites the spirit of giving in our region.

Since its inception in 2016, El Paso Giving Day has evolved and fostered widespread community generosity in support of nonprofit organizations that provide essential services to our community.

We invite you to save the date and join the movement to help us reach HOPE’s goal of $50,000 on October 17. Here’s how HOPE has impacted their community through their work:

Humanitarian Action - Delivering critical humanitarian aid to families and vulnerable migrants arriving to the US-Mexico border Deploying our binational team of physicians and nurses to meet the healthcare needs of refugees Addressing the crisis of deaths in our El Paso desert by organizing water drops

A Strategy Center for Justice - Organizing parishes, faith leaders and our binational partners to advocate for just and transformative policies for migrants and for our border communities Promoting just and sustainable communities in Central America so that families don’t need to make the painful choice to migrate Working with faith communities and everyday people across the country to ensure a humane and dignified reception for people seeking safety at the border

Speaking Truth to Power - Publishing groundbreaking reports detailing the impacts of failed border policy Pushing back on the attack on El Paso and other border communities by organizing creative acts of hopeful resistance
