Casa de Esperanza de Los Ninos

There’s nothing like a morning spent with like-minded young professionals who are passionate about making a difference in Houston. Our recent HOPE Leaders breakfast was a wonderful opportunity to connect and dive deeper into the Casa mission. We were honored to hear from Ben Brown, who has been a pillar of the Casa de Esperanza community since 2005. From his early days as a volunteer to co-founding our annual Chili Cook-Off, Ben is a true example of how one person’s commitment can grow into a lasting legacy for the children in our care. ❤️ The group also had the opportunity to tackle a small service project and put together “Caregiver Survival Kits” filled with goodies for the caregivers in our Foster Care Neighborhood. Plus, everyone walked away with a fresh professional headshot thanks to Quy Photography! 📸 Thank you Hyatt Regency Houston for hosting us and to everyone who joined us. We left feeling inspired by your energy and enthusiasm for supporting our mission!

Our governing board spent a full day last week at their annual retreat, collaborating on our goals for the year and finding new ways to strengthen our support for Houston’s children and families in crisis. We are so thankful for their leadership and their unwavering commitment to our mission. To celebrate a successful day of planning, we enjoyed some ice cream with our kiddos in the foster care neighborhood!
