Walk With a Widow
Through a faithful rhythm of encouragement notes and regular intercession in prayer, we aim to walk alongside our War-Widowed Mothers as a reflection of Christ’s love — reassuring her that God is with her, and that her story, and that of her children, is still unfolding with faith, purpose, and hope.
Each Walk With a Widow Volunteer will be paired with one War-Widowed Mother during her participation in our Reestablishment Program.

An Evening of Hope
Our one-night fundraising galas in Tennessee and North Texas honor the lives we serve:
(1) Orphans in need of a mother and a father
(2) War-Widowed Mothers and children left fatherless by war, in need of family stability
Because we do not solicit donations through mailings, email or phone, these table-sponsored events are the primary way that HopeHouse International® raises awareness and funds to support its mission.
Run-2-Rescue
Walk or run in any race. These fundraising events help HopeHouse International rescue Orphans from suicide, homelessness, and human trafficking.
