Message from Star of Hope
Dear Trees of Hope,
I'm so thankful for your generosity for the shoes. You didn't have to do this for us, but you did it out of the kindness of your heart. For that, I am blessed and so are you. Stay blessed and keep helping people because God is going to bless you.
From,

Dear Trees of Hope,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the support and kindness you have so faithfully and consistently shown Star of Hope over the years. And I must say, when you all are involved, the fun follows! Thank you providing fun amid really hard work!
Star of Hope provides an essential mission to the city of Houston - caring for the homeless of our community. Every day, hundreds of men, women, and children are entrusted to our care. They depend on us for food, a place to lay their head, and help in creating a transformational change in their lives. In turn, we depend on Trees of Hope, and others like you, who partner with us in this work. We simply cannot do this critical mission without you. Our provision of individualized care for each of our residents addresses the needs of the whole person, and it only happens because of our supporters. We are actively choosing MERCY over APATHY towards the members of our community caught up in homelessness, poverty, and addiction. We do this because as Christians, we have received this mercy first in our own lives through the grace of Christ.
Star of Hope is now moving towards 125 years of caring for Houston's less fortunate. We are thankful that Trees of Hope is with us in this journey, and we look forward to many more years of opportunities of working together to serve this mission in our community.
When we think of our work at Star of Hope, we want to think of how Jesus worked with people in His ministry. We see His work as a model for our work - Jesus was not just fixing problems, but instead He focused on restoring the dignity and humanity of those who came into His care. At times, we are less than perfect in our work, but our goal is to follow Christ's great example and to create a place where the homeless find a home; the weary find rest; and the lost recover a sense of meaning, direction, and purpose in their lives.
This is our work, and we are grateful that you, Trees of Hope, as you stand with us as we do this work together.
May God bless Trees of Hope,
Doug Meikle
President & CEO Star of Hope
