What a night! This year's Heart of Hope Gala was nothing short of remarkable, and it's all thanks to you-our incredible community. With your generosity, enthusiasm, and support, we raised nearly $180,000 to continue providing reliable vehicles, repairs, and resources for working single mothers in our community. Your belief in Hands' mission will make an immense difference, and I couldn't be more grateful for your support. One of the highlights of the evening was sharing the powerful, personal stories that lie at the heart of our mission. Hearing firsthand from moms whose lives have been impacted by Hands brought our work to life in such a vivid way. These women showed courage and resilience as they shared their journeys with us. Their stories are a reminder of why we gather each year-to uplift, support, and stand beside those who are working to provide a better future for themselves and their children. I hope you left the event feeling as inspired as I did. If you weren't able to join us this year, we hope to see you at next fall's Heart of Hope Gala. Mark your calendars, bring your friends, and come prepared for another meaningful evening celebrating hope, compassion, and the lives we are changing together. Since joining Hands, I've felt nothing but warmth and kindness from this community, and I am truly thankful to be part of such a dedicated and compassionate team. To all of you who reached out to welcome me and those I was able to meet in person at the Gala -thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am honored to serve alongside each of you, and together, I know we can continue making an extraordinary impact. Blessing, Mikayla Llanos | Development Director

A Note from Dan: Last month I promised you pictures of the newest facility that we get to serve single moms through - Hands North. It is located at 2425 W 92nd Ave. in Federal Heights. We were able to unveil it in a special way at the Heart of Hope Gala on Oct. 23rd. As we celebrate this new facility and Hands' ability to serve up north, this means we get to serve the whole metro area. The work that our staff has done at Hands West and Hands East enables this opportunity up north. Equally, the work the whole Hands community has done to surround these courageous working single moms with hope and practical support has been incredible. Each one individually has opportunity they didn't have before. They have peace and trust they didn't have before, and they have hope they didn't before. That's because they have you...and you have their back. As Hands meets more people around Colorado, too few have heard of the name and what we all do together. However, nearly everyone recognized single mothers' practical need for transportation. I can tell you from 21 years' experience, automotive is a messy and expensive way to serve. Regardless, the outcomes still prove it is more than worth it, so we press forward. It may also be the reason there is no other group doing what Hands does. It is a privilege to serve alongside you in the mess. Hands is approaching an important year end of growth in number served, growth in capacity and growth in care of each individual single mom served. I invite you to grow your partnership with Hands through any or all of the following: -SPREAD THE WORD TO POSSIBLE CLIENTS -SHARE ABOUT CAR DONATION OPPORTUNITIES -FINANCIAL GIVING Please let me know how we can partner with what brings you joy in your giving journey. -Dan Georgopulos

Thanks for your car donation, Ken! "We were glad to support this ministry with a donation of our older vehicle to help women in need. The staff was professional, thoughtful and quick with the process which included coming to pick up our vehicle from our home. Within a month, I received our receipt and explanation of what was done with the vehicle and how it will help the women they serve. If you want to do some good in this world and are considering donating a vehicle, please consider Hands of The Carpenter and research all they do." -Ken D. (Google Review)
