2024 Recap and Thank You

By Jen Naskov | Executive Director

Hand in hand into 2025
Hand in hand into 2025

As we close out 2024, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support of Lighthouse of Hope. Your generosity has been instrumental in driving our mission forward, and we are thrilled to share some of the remarkable milestones we've achieved together this year.

2024: A Year of Growth and Impact
Thanks to you, we’ve seen tremendous progress in our work with children and families in Bitola and beyond. Here are just a few highlights from the year:

  • Volunteer Teams at The JOY Home: Two volunteer teams from America visited the JOY Home this year, bringing hands-on support, kindness, and energy to the children we serve. Their efforts were a reminder of how powerful community support can be.
  • Camp Joy Day Camp for Special Needs Children: Camp Joy this past summer, was a resounding success, offering kids with special needs a space for fun, connection, and growth. With your support, these children experienced joy, acceptance, and memorable moments they will cherish for years to come.
  • A Life-Changing Milestone: One of the most touching moments this year was when a 6-year-old girl, who had been struggling to take her first steps due to being born without eyes, was able to walk for the very first time. It was a testament to the hard work, dedication, and resources we have all invested in making a lasting difference in the lives of our amazing JOY Home kids.
  • Celebrating 3 Years of The JOY Home: This year marked the 3rd anniversary of The JOY Home. Over the past three years, we’ve seen countless lives transformed, and we couldn’t be more proud of all the progress we’ve made in providing a loving, nurturing environment for children in need.
  • Giving Tuesday Success: Thanks to your generosity during our Giving Tuesday campaign, we were able to close the gap on our budget needs for the year, ensuring that our programs continue to thrive without interruption.
  • The Sun Room: A new therapy room, The Sun Room, was built to provide a peaceful and focused space for therapeutic activities. This addition, along with the wonderful therapy swing given to us by the Evangelical Church of Veles,  will help us continue to provide specialized care to those who need it most.
  • Increased Therapy Capacity: We've expanded our capacity this year by adding additional therapy sessions, allowing us to serve 22 children on a weekly basis. This growth ensures that even more children benefit from the life-changing therapy and support they need.

And that’s just a glimpse of the many successes we’ve celebrated this year. None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of donors like you.

Your Contribution in 2024
As the year ends, we want to ensure that you have the necessary information for tax purposes. If you gave through GlobalGiving you will receive a year-end tax receipt directly from them. We hope that this information helps you as you prepare for tax season. Should you need any further details, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Looking Ahead to 2025
While 2024 has been an extraordinary year, we are just getting started! As we look to the future, your continued support will help us expand our programs and reach even more children and families who need a Lighthouse of Hope in their lives.

Once again, thank you for your generous heart and dedication to our mission. Your support makes all the difference.

Wishing you a joyful, healthy, and peaceful New Year. We look forward to continuing this journey together in 2025!
