Who has left a lasting mark on your life? Maybe it's the fingerprints of a parent, a friend, or even a stranger that has helped shape who you are today.

If you think about it, we are, in many ways, the sum of the influences others have left on us. Have you thought about that before? Have you ever considered the impact you can make on someone else's life? 

It’s with these questions in mind, we want to invite you to make a lasting impact on the children of Hope Orphan Home. Let us introduce you to this year’s fundraiser: Impressions of Hope.

Below you can see the HOH logo in black and white, and it’s just waiting to be filled with your actual fingerprints on a printed canvas version that in our possession!

Here’s how it works: We have specific gift amounts and each gift amount is tied to a color: light blue thumbprints will color the sky for gifts of $25; dark green and light green thumbprints will bring the mountains to life for gifts of $50 and $100. Dark blue thumbprints will fill the home for $250 donations; and yellow, orange, and red thumbprints will illuminate the windows of the home (and those are $500, $1,000, and $5,000, respectively).

And when we’re all done at the end of the year, the canvas display will have transformed from black and white into something beautiful like this!

As you press your finger into the ink pads, you're not just contributing to HOH — you are connecting with the children of HOH. You are painting a picture of support and community. 

And once complete, the canvas will travel across the ocean to the orphanage, becoming a daily reminder to the children that they are seen, they are valued, and they are supported by a global family. They will look up and see impressions from you — fingerprints of promise and hope from people far away who care.

We invite you to participate by leaving your thumbprint, leaving your mark of hope. Together, we can create a masterpiece of support that the children at HOH will see every day. Your influence is as real and deeply felt as a fingerprint on a canvas. Please consider leaving an impression of hope on the lives of the children at HOH.
