Hope Notes

Too good to be true? What if I told you about an investment almost guaranteed to give you more than a 1000% return? If you’re like me, you would think it’s too good to be true. In full disclosure, this investment won’t make you rich financially, but it will make a significant difference in the lives of children born with clubfoot. Let me explain. Your support last fiscal year allowed Hope Walks to help 6,855 children receive necessary clubfoot treatment and care and have their clubfoot corrected. These children are now on their way to becoming contributing members of society. Over their lifetime, we calculate the net present benefit to be more than $55 million. The long-term impact of your investment will yield returns for generations to come. Another way to say it is for every dollar invested, we will see a return on investment measure of $13.84. Pretty impressive, right? At birth, many of these children are written off, but clearly, a minimal investment in their healing journey has a far-reaching impact that ripples through multiple generations. Together, we can amplify this success and bring the gift of mobility to even more children, empowering them to live full, independent lives. Join us in walking alongside these children and their families toward a brighter, healthier future.

Repaying with kindness Webi in Ethiopia
Webi’s family at first believed his condition was the result of a family curse. Webi’s mom, Lomi, struggled with these rumors until the treatment began, and she could see a positive change in her son’s feet at each appointment. Despite the challenges, Lomi and her husband Bedada stood out among the others at the clinic for their kindness. Perhaps they were trying to repay the kindness given to them by the clinicians, parent advisor and donors who paid for Webi’s treatment. “You are all so supportive and encouraging through this tough situation,” Lomi and Bedada said.
