Hopefully Yours

Over the past seven years, Springs of Hope Foundation has welcomed more than four hundred women, children, and youth into what has become a true home. Many arrive with no family left. Some are the only surviving members of their entire tribal network. They come with nothing—not even a change of clothes or a place to call their own.

​

After years under oppressive conditions, much has been taken from them. Their native language replaced. Their names changed. Their memories faded or erased. They’ve endured unspeakable trauma—sold, silenced, abused, starved. Their identities have been stripped. Their dignity, exposed. Their health, both physical and emotional, deeply scarred.

​

And yet, they come through the blue gates of The Hope House. Some arrive cautiously, watching from the corners of their eyes. Some carry grief for children born and lost. Others don’t even know where they came from—leaning on the memories of friends who once knew them back in Sinjar. Some didn’t want to come at all—but they did, because a friend invited them. A friend who’d already found safety and warmth within these walls. They come for friendship, and they stay for the healing.

​

Some call us names when they arrive. Others reach out for hugs they never received. Some roll up in wheelchairs, legs lost in a fight that was never theirs to begin with. Others arrive pedaling ancient bicycles, hearts heavy but open to the unknown. They ask for food. For footballs. For goldfish, rabbits, or doves. Some are angry. Some are numb. Some are desperate to learn. Each carries their own story. And here, we meet them right where they are.

​

Hopefully, Yours is a gentle program that helps those who have lost their sense of life begin to rediscover it. It’s a space to learn how to reconnect—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—with life, family, and community.

​

But they can’t do it alone. Without your tangible care, many of them remain unseen. Without a warm coat, a haircut, or the money to join friends for a simple pizza outside the camp, they are left behind—not by choice, but by circumstance.

​

We’re inviting you to become part of this story. Would you consider a twelve-month commitment of $65 per month to support just one young person working to rebuild their life? Your partnership offers more than essentials—it gives them dignity, inclusion, and hope.

Hope is tangible. You can be the person who makes it real for someone else. Right now, we have students—some the only ones left in their families—who were recently located in camps across the region and urgently need financial support.​
