Hi Friends of Jennifer:

This is a secret so please don’t mention it to Jennifer!

As you all know, Jennifer has poured her heart and soul into Hope for Tomorrow Children’s Home in Guatemala. One of the dreams she had early on was to start an inclusive preschool program through Hope for Tomorrow. Several years ago, they opened two classrooms and more recently they have opened a third. They now have the opportunity to open 2-3 more classrooms but the space has to be renovated. For only $10,000, that space can be renovated allowing many more children to benefit from high quality early childhood experiences, something that many young children in Guatemala never have the opportunity to do.

We would like to raise the $10,000 and present it to Jennifer in honor of her retirement. We have donors who have graciously agreed to match dollar for dollar all donations up to $5000. We are reaching out to her colleagues and friends to see if we can raise this amount to show her how much her commitment to these children inspires us all!
