Honouring Those Who Continue to Change Lives
“A legacy gift continues to live out your values and makes an impact for years and years after you’re gone.”
– Lynn, legacy donor
Yesterday’s legacy gift – an answer to today’s prayers.
We want to honour the compassionate individuals who have chosen to leave a legacy of love through Hope and Healing International, whose gifts were realized this year. Although their chapter with us has ended, their stories are living on through their gifts and will continue to change lives for years to come. Their past decision will give thousands of children with disabilities life-saving surgeries, rehabilitation, and caring support, so these courageous kids can become all God created them to be.
The names of these compassionate supporters remind us that love can outlive a lifetime and one thoughtful decision can change countless lives for generations to come. We are deeply grateful for their vision, their faith, and the enduring legacy of hope they have entrusted to future generations.
In 2025, 61 generous supporters left gifts in their Will. Together, they gave enough for:
8,442
children to receive the miracle of sight through surgery and preventative treatment
4,959
children with disabilities to receive the vital medical care they needed
3,969
families to receive the gift of clean, disability-preventing water
The names on this honour roll are shared with permission, allowing us to celebrate the lasting impact of their generosity. We’re inspired and humbled by each one.
