It’s not about the amount—though the impact of a donation is undeniable—it’s about what it represents. A dollar is a belief, a vote of confidence, a tangible way of saying, I see what you’re doing, and I believe in it. That belief fuels me every day. From the friend who gives $5 a month despite barely scraping by in Nashville, to the business owner who contributes $1,000 monthly, to the family who sponsored an entire house in one check—each one carries weight far beyond its financial value.
Because it’s not just about money. It’s about people standing alongside this mission, shoulder to shoulder, saying that the work matters. That providing homes for families in crisis is a cause worth investing in. That I’m not crazy for dedicating my life to this—that what we’re doing together is real and lasting. On the days when the weight of the work feels heavy, I look at the names of those who have given. People I admire—smart, successful, creative, and generous. And I remember: they’re not giving just because they know me. They’re giving because they believe in what Hope and Horizons is doing.
That belief drives me. It pushes me to press in even further—to meet more families, to find more projects, to open new doors in new places. Every dollar given is a reminder that this work isn’t done, that there are still families waiting for a home, waiting for hope. And it makes me want to do more. To build more.
So to every person who has ever given—even if you think your dollar doesn’t make a difference—it does. Because it’s not just a dollar. It’s a statement. It’s a movement. And it’s changing lives, one home at a time.
