Understand what is HOPE?

Used as a noun: 1) the feeling of wanting something to happen and thinking that it could happen 2) a feeling that something good will happen or be true. Apply this to the basic emotional, physical and spiritual needs in life and the definition that Restoring HOPE  operates from is established.

Understand how people lose hope?

When the feeling or thought that something can  happen is replaced with doubt or changed to will not …that is when hope becomes lost.

We at Restoring HOPE  do not deal with what we call 1st world problems ; sensationalizing minor discomforts as if they were equal to lacking the basic needs in life: protection from harm, unconditional love, food and water.

More emphatically: not having a Wi-Fi signal, having to ride the bus instead of being personally driven, having to drink water from the tap, or not getting one’s way are not issues that would or should get us involved. When someone truly loses hope in life  the next step is an altered mindset that will lead them to extreme harm or dysfunction. Suicide, drug abuse, prostitution, stealing and other desperate acts are the kind of actions we desire to prevent or rescue people from doing.
