Hey friends! 💛

I’ve said yes to something BIG—joining Lumina of Hope Missions: Guatemala in April 2026! 🇬🇹 This is a women-led, faith-driven trip designed to serve single moms, families in need, and vulnerable communities just outside Guatemala City. We’ll be doing everything from feeding programs and home visits to Vacation Bible School and clean water installations. Basically… showing up with hands ready to help and hearts full of hope. 💥

My total trip goal is ~$1,950. I’d love your help making it possible!

Whether you give $5 or $50, it ALL matters—and it all helps me get one step closer to serving on the ground. I’m believing for big things, and I’m so thankful to have your support.

Let’s go love boldly. 🌎

Lumina of Hope Foundation is a 100% volunteer-led nonprofit on a mission to support women in some of life’s toughest seasons—whether they’re raising a child with special needs, walking through grief or illness, or simply longing for rest and connection.

We host a range of transformative retreats—some faith-based, others focused on wellness, rest, and resilience—all designed to help women feel seen, supported, and empowered. While some experiences are fully funded through donor support, others are offered at reduced or tiered costs to remain accessible.

We also lead mission trips for women (and teen daughters) to serve together, grow in faith, and make a difference in communities both locally and globally. These trips are designed to be beginner-friendly, deeply meaningful, and rooted in love and service.

At Lumina of Hope, we believe in the power of community, the importance of rest, and the ripple effect of women rising strong together.

And because we’re fully volunteer-run, every dollar you give directly fuels impact—not overhead.
