A message from Mai-Lynn

"Let your light shine so brightly that others can see their way out of the dark."

– Matthew 5:16

Happy Wednesday,

When I reflect on this verse, I think of you. For twenty-five years, your compassion has illuminated every corner of Brittany’s Hope. Your light has transformed lives and has created lasting hope for orphaned children and families around the world. What we've accomplished together is extraordinary.

At the heart of Brittany’s Hope are 1,625 children with special needs who are now in the warm embrace of forever families, thanks to the miracle of adoption. The miracle continues—62 more families have said “yes,” and soon, even more children will experience the joy and permanency of adoption. You can help us continue this miracle—make your gift today.

You have empowered us to take bold steps in Child Care Reform. Together, we are preventing the unnecessary separation of orphaned and vulnerable children from their first families. Our initiatives—such as the housing program—have constructed 53 homes at just $6,000 each, ensuring that over 160 children never lose the guiding glow of parental care. Every gift, no matter the size, helps keep families together—please give.

Together, we are transforming traditional institutional orphanages into nurturing Children’s Homes that foster growth, ignite curiosity, and inspire children to pursue higher education. Our College Scholarship Program is a beacon of hope—having produced 240 graduates, with over 100 students currently enrolled and shaping their futures and tomorrow’s world.

As we celebrate our collective 25th anniversary, we ask you to continue shining your light. Your gift to our Annual Appeal (cash, credit, stocks, IRA distributions, and more) will empower dreams, open doors, create families, and ensure that no child faces the future alone. As we have done for the past 25 years, 100% of your donation supports the children and families we serve.

With heartfelt gratitude and renewed hope,

Mai-Lynn Sahd, MSW
