Being a vibrant mission is not just about caring for the homeless in our city, it's about serving our friends who support our ministry. One of the ways we do this is by sharing the wonderful things that are happening in our shelters to encourage and prepare our clients for re-entering society, with obtainable goals for self-sufficiency.
As you read the blogs written by our staff and guest bloggers, your heart will be touched by the stories about life in the shelters and the experiences of the men, women and children living in them. You will find ways to connect that meet your charitable ideals and many opportunities to deepen your involvement with Star of Hope Mission.
Many kids have a nostalgic idea of summer and look forward to sun-kissed skin all school-year long. One of the only appealing ideas about summer for a homeless child is no more school work, but in no way does that outweigh the cons: nonstop hunger, sweating, thirst, loneliness and often neglect.Here in Houston, the Independent School District found 10,000+ homeless children during the past School year. My question is where are those kids now, during the already brutal summer?
Each time another child enters Star of Hope, I with Star of Hope, am celebrating because we now know 1 more is provided for. In fact because of great companies like Key Energy Services, Star of Hope is able to provide the kids here with a summer filled with water, sun, plenty of food and lots of fun!
Recently, Key Energy Services offered a “Pirate Splash” to kick off our Summer of Hope! It included: pirates with monkeys, huge water slides, lots of kiddy pools, cotton candy and many happy soaked kiddos! It really was the beginning of, for many kids, their Summer of Hope!
