Help change lives through mobility

For the past eight years, our Orange City My Day program has known what it feels like to be without a home. We bounced from one rental space to another—sometimes staying only six months, sometimes a year. None of those spaces were truly designed for the people we serve. And every time we had to move again, our members’ anxiety grew. Thanks to our generous supporters, that all changed this past spring. We built a new multipurpose facility, complete with accessible restrooms, a full kitchen, ample storage, and room to grow. Connected to our wheelchair workshop, it not only provides a permanent home for our members but also gives them meaningful ways to contribute to our ministry. As Hailey Lewis, the Orange City My Day Lead, shared when she first walked inside: “I love it. The colors, the rustic look, it’s beautiful. But more than that, it’s home.” Our members agree. Colin grinned and said, “There’s lots of stuff to do!” From cooking projects in the kitchen, to playing games, to volunteering in the workshop, this new home has sparked joy for the entire group. But most importantly, it has brought them peace. The constant stress of moving and the worry about accessibility and functional amenities is finally all behind them. Hailey shared, “If I put something in a box, a couple of my members ask, ‘Are we moving again?’ And I get to remind them, no. This is permanent, this is forever. Having their forever home here has minimized their anxiety, they don’t have to worry about anything. Now, they can just focus on themselves, and that has changed everything for them.” In this new season for the Orange City My Day program, we are reminded of God’s promise in Isaiah 32:18: “My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.” Supporters like you make it possible for us to continue our mission of creating spaces where individuals with disabilities can find community and purpose, and the opportunity to thrive. Will you consider a gift today to continue blessing individuals in programs like My Day with the security and stability they deserve? If you wish to contribute, please CLICK HERE to donate today. At Hope Haven, we exten d our heartfelt gratitude for your support and prayers in serving our mission now and in the future.

“Use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need.” Ephesians 4:28 NLT 

Across the globe, people spend hours, days, or even years in isolation, unable to experience the dignity and freedom they deserve. This past January, a group of volunteers served in Costa Rica to fulfill Hope Haven’s mission to provide advocacy and resources for those with disabilities in developing countries. They simply put their hands to work and delivered over 106 custom-fitted wheelchairs to individuals in need. More importantly, they provided them with hope and freedom.

CHANGING LIVES THROUGH MOBILITY 

Following her first trip with HHIM on January 17, 2024, volunteer Maddie Pazour , Hope Haven Day Hab Services Manager, got to see firsthand how your donations change lives. “I feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to join the wheelchair distribution trip to Costa Rica,” said Maddie. “As the wheelchair clinics progressed throughout the week, I met some of the most amazing people, both volunteers and those receiving wheelchairs. I spent most of my time checking wheelchair brakes and transcribing the stories of how these people got to a place in their life where they needed a wheelchair. Hearing their stories and seeing their smiles is something I will never forget.”

People are often on waiting lists for years before owning a wheelchair. “When people arrive with their family members, you can see the desperation in their eyes. Then, when they finally get seated in their wheelchairs, there is unspeakable joy and to see the joy on their faces is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. It’s life-changing! Every single person I helped was so grateful, positive, and thankful for what they had. One gentleman hadn’t left his house or bed for five years, and this was his first outing. It was an honor to be a part of creating countless cherished memories for these individuals and their families. I went to Costa Rica with the mindset to give. In the end, it was me who received so much more in return.”
