“Building Homes & Hope: A Journey to Ukraine”

Hey there, friends! We’ve got something exciting to share with you—something that’s been brewing for a while now, and we can’t wait to spill the beans. So, grab a cup of coffee (or tea, if that’s your jam) and let’s dive in!

You know, there’s something magical about travel. It opens our eyes to new cultures, broadens our horizons, and gives us a fresh perspective on life. But what if I told you that traveling to places where homelessness is rampant can do even more than that? It can ignite a fire within us to make a real difference in the world.

That’s exactly what happening to us. Ryan, Randall (our talented videographer), and I are gearing up for our first trip together, and let me tell you, it’s going to be one for the books. We’re packing our bags and heading off to war-torn Ukraine, not for sightseeing or selfies, but to make a real, tangible difference in someone’s life.

Why Ukraine, you ask? Well, it all started with a simple realization: Sometimes you’ve gotta see the need up close and personal to truly understand how you can help. And that’s exactly what we intend to do. We’re diving headfirst into the heart of the community, ready to listen, learn, and lend a helping hand wherever it’s needed most.

Our mission? To give away our first home to a single mom and her son who lost everything in the conflict. It’s a journey fueled by compassion, fueled by a desire to see change firsthand, and fueled by the unwavering belief that together, we can make a difference.

But here’s the thing—we can’t do it alone. We need your support, your generosity, and your willingness to make a difference. Whether it’s joining us on a trip to build homes with Hope and Horizons or simply donating to our cause, every little bit helps.

As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” So why not join us on this journey of giving back? Together, we can build homes, build hope, and build a better world for those in need.

So here’s to new adventures, to spreading love and kindness, and to making a real, lasting impact on the world around us. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together as we change lives, one home at a time.

Until next time, keep dreaming big, keep believing in the power of hope, and keep spreading love wherever you go!
