From the Episcopal Church Buen Pastor:
A family from the church was home when their home was broken into by armed robbers. The parents were able to hide their children and no harm came to them. However, the parents were badly injured and the father is now paralyzed. He lost his job and only through Education = Hope have they been able to keep their kids in school. In their own words the help and hope that they receive from our community, E=H, this has given them a reason to live and move forward.
From the Episcopal Church of Emaus:
Carla has grown up in the Episcopal Church, serving as an acolyte as well as fulfilling her current responsibilities for running all the sound and audio-visuals for the service (they do not have prayer books, thus the service is projected on the wall). She is a senior and hoping to graduate with the highest grades possible to win a scholarship to continue to study in the public university or the police academy. Like most of the families in her area, she has very few resources including no access to a computer, so she studies at the church, using the church’s computer and printer.
Carla is one of the main young leaders in the youth group and is always eager to participate. E=H funds provide for Carla’s school supplies and books, helping to give her a hope and a future.
