“In the 1990s, I was living out of a backpack. The meals, counseling, and encouragement I received from Hale Kipa changed my life.

Because of these services, I was able to eventually, with a lot of hard work, obtain three college degrees—Associates, Bachelors, and Masters in nursing—and have a career where I can help others & affect change.

I am now a homeowner, which I would have never dreamed possible back then. Your support truly makes an impact.“

Kim M.
Former Youth Outreach recipient and proud donor

“I hope that one day I can invest in someone else’s life just as Hale Kipa did for me, and make a change.”

Brandon
Hale Kipa youth alumni

“I’ve learned that there are always going to be hardships in life. A simple drop of hope is all it took for me to pull through.”
