Sharing Hope

Hope is that snuggly teddy bear...

July 11, 2017

Hope is what sustains us. Hope fuels us. Hope unites us. Hope is universal.

I founded Project Have Hope in 2006 because I was inspired by the abundance of hope demonstrated by women who had faced horrific circumstances, but were undeterred, were hopeful.  Each of us faces our own set of challenges, but it is hope that inspires us to persevere, to be our best selves and live our best lives.  #IHaveHope because I know anything is possible if we refuse to give up.

I believe that by leveraging the power of hope, we can move mountains. Okay, so maybe we can’t actually MOVE mountains, but we can surely climb them! Hope makes the impossible, possible. Hope encourages us to dream. But not just dream, but to attempt what we most desire. To identify a goal and work tirelessly to see to its fruition.

We each have faced a trying circumstance in our life when we weren’t sure if the outcome would be favorable. In that moment of darkness, hope gave us light. Hope gave us strength. My desire in creating the #IHaveHope #900StoriesOfHope campaign is to authenticate the power of hope. To allow each of us to dare to be empowered by the awesomeness of the simplicity of remaining hopeful in all times, even in those dark moments that cloud the sun and make us think rainbows are apparitions.

I encourage each of you to look within and find that glitter, that nugget, that sustains you – that’s hope – and share that through our campaign. Rise up and be heard. Let the world know that hope can withstand anything. Hope creates positive change. Hope unites us. Hope is that snuggly teddy bear you’ve had since your youth, that you still snuggle up to when the thunder roars and the lightening frightens.

"I think big!" gushes Eric. "I want to be the best designer ever!"

His goals aren’t limited to fashioning clothes, but to every aspect of design.  With unbridled ambition, a strong work ethic and passion, this 22 year old is unstoppable.

Thanks to Project Have Hope's scholastic sponsorship program, Eric had the opportunity to pursue a course in fashion and design, and is currently employed by a company that manufactures clothes for government contracts. 

Eric’s passion for design was ignited when he was 17 years old.  His uniform was too big and ill-fitting.  He was determined to fix it.  “ ‘Let me try,’ ” he recalls saying to himself as he sat behind a sewing machine for the first time to adjust his uniform.  “From that day, I loved tailoring.
