Our Hope for the Island friends often take the time to write us an encouraging note or email along with their donation.
We always appreciate the time you take to send us your thoughts on your journey of faith. Here is a sample of how we get blessed when you communicate with us.

Lino is a 53 year old Christian man from Pacifico. He was a farmer for many years but is now so sick he is unable to work. He suffers with Schistosomiasis, heart burn and liver disease.
He is very thankful for the help he received from Hope for the Island. He told us that he would be admitted to the hospital in Surigao City for observation and would need medication.
JoyJoy is a 13 year old girl who is Makana’s friend. This young lady gave her life to Jesus a few months ago. Her parents are Christians and live in Burgos.
JoyJoy recently started getting frequent headaches along with pain in her eyes and was vomiting. Her parents brought her to the doctor and heard the sad news that she had a brain tumor. They sought out a second opinion in a larger city and the diagnosis was confirmed. Her parents were faced with the challenge of coming up with 350,000 pesos, approximately $900 dollars, for an operation.
