Who we are
OUR STORY
It all started with a family’s journey…
When my husband Edward and I moved to the U.S. over 30 years ago, we had no idea how tough the road ahead would be. Edward was a trained physician back home, but we quickly learned how complex and overwhelming the process was for him to practice here. Those early years were filled with challenges, and it became my personal mission to ensure that no other family would have to endure the same struggles.
Today, that mission lives on through Anchor of Hope. What began as a way to help a few family friends has grown into a global movement—an uplifting community of donors, volunteers, and advocates who are committed to helping others rise above their circumstances. We focus on critical needs, like providing safe housing and support, so that individuals and families can rebuild their lives and realize their full potential.
Grounded in the ideals of honor, dignity, and respect, Anchor of Hope stands as a testament to what we can accomplish together. Everyone faces hard times, but with love, guidance, and unwavering support, we can help each other rise.
It is my dream that we continue to unite as a compassionate community, transforming lives and offering hope to families in need—now and for generations to come.
