This second edition of HOPE magazine is published in conjunction with FTP’s annual fall fundraiser titled, The HOPE Project 2015. In addition to an inspiring event, this magazine provides an opportunity to generate additional funds for our not-for-profit agency, while incorporating thought-provoking issues and content relevant to the work we do. We are grateful to all of our contributing authors who have share their hopeful stories. These are authors like Maureen—a woman who has survived terrible abuse at the hands of her former partner. Maureen’s courage to share her story is fueled by her hope that it will help others. The Bogner family also shares what hope means to them. Their story of hope begins after losing their beloved daughter from a tragedy involving domestic violence. These powerful stories allows hope to linger. They remind us of just how powerful HOPE can be.
