I am amazed by the generosity of ny community. We are gaining momentum! Just $185 remaining to unlock the $500 match! I trust I have 8 more friends who could donate $25 tonight.
My birthday was just days before Give to the Max—and this year, the gift I’d love most is a donation to Common Hope.
Common Hope is a Saint Paul–based nonprofit creating opportunity in Guatemala through education, healthcare, housing, and family support.
I’ve been involved for years—first as a volunteer translator, then as a sponsor to Daniela since 2020, and most recently by witnessing her graduation in Antigua. I’ve seen firsthand how this organization changes lives, and I’m honored to join Common Hope’s Board of Directors in January 2026. I believe deeply in their mission and their impact.
If you’re able, please join me in supporting this work today. Any amount makes a difference—and if you feel moved, a gift of $60 would be a wonderful way to help me celebrate my 60th birthday. 🎁❤️
Thank you for your generosity and for helping create opportunities for students and families in Guatemala.I meet Dani and her family for the first time since sponsoring her - joy!
