Be a heart
of hope.
Every gift becomes a heartbeat. Steady, faithful, and life-giving.
Most people give once, feel good for an afternoon, and never find their way back. There’s a better way to show up. Become one of 100 monthly givers whose steady gifts keep every part of Gate of Hope going, here in Louisville and across the ocean in Rwanda.
$20, $100, or any amount. Every heart counts the same.
Caring isn’t a one-time thing.
So why give like it is?
A single gift is a moment. It asks you to keep deciding to care, over and over. A monthly gift is a rhythm. It’s the kind of steady support that lets us sign a lease, keep a staff member on, and tell a family we’ll still be here next year. And mean it.
A one-time gift
Generous. But it leaves next month an open question, and the month after that.
A monthly heart
Trauma recovery. Mentorship. A 19-acre farm. A small loan in Rwanda. None of it wraps up in one appeal, and your gift is what lets us plan for it.
“When we got to Louisville, we didn’t know a soul. Gate of Hope helped me get my license, learn enough English to work, and find a job. My kids are in school now. This year, I’m the one helping the next family that arrives.”

The wall fills as we grow. We’re just getting started.
Every heart shows up here, and every heart is the same size, whether you give $20 or $200. The amount is just how loud your heartbeat is.
One gift. Every program.
Your monthly gift doesn’t pick a favorite. It’s shared across everything we do, so no single program runs dry, including our work in Rwanda.
Gosheni
Recovery and fresh food, grown from the ground up. A working farm where healing happens in the soil.
Tabara
Mentorship and protection for teen girls. Confidence, safety, and people firmly in their corner.
Humura
Steady support for mothers and single women as they rebuild their lives, on their own terms.
Himbaza
Faith, belonging, and a church home for kids finding their feet in a brand-new place.
INN
English, driver’s ed, citizenship, job skills. The practical footing a new life takes.
Rwanda Programs
Micro-loans, tuition, healthcare, and pastoral care. Opportunity that stays put and grows.
Not just support. Belonging.
Here’s what a monthly heart actually does, for the work and for you.
We can plan ahead
Steady gifts let us hire, commit, and grow instead of starting from zero every appeal.
You’re not alone
You join a circle of people who show up every month. And your heart goes on the wall.
It reaches everything
One gift, the whole mission. Nothing dominates, nothing gets skipped.
Built with, not for
Our new neighbors arrive with skills, culture, and grit. We build alongside them.
Faith you can practice
For many of us, giving is worship. A monthly heart makes it steady, and we steward every dollar.
Hearts already in.
A few words from people who’ve joined.
I used to give whenever an appeal landed in my inbox. Now it’s just part of how my family lives. Twenty dollars a month, and I don’t have to wonder whether I’m doing enough.
I drove past the farm one afternoon and saw what they’d built. That was it for me. This is happening in my own city, and I get to be part of keeping it going.
My church taught me that giving is worship. A monthly heart is the most honest version of that I’ve found. Steady, on purpose, all year long.
Who your heart is for
Real people. In your city and ours.
Behind every name is a real person, and you can be part of what comes next for them.
GOSHENI the healing place
Nineteen acres where recovery and fresh food grow out of the same ground.
TABARA to rescue
Teen girls who get a mentor, a circle, and someone who shows up. It changes what a girl believes she can do.
HIMBAZA to praise
Kids growing up known and loved, with faith and a church family around them.
HUMURA to comfort
Mothers and single women carrying a lot. Here, they don’t carry it alone.
NEW NEIGHBORS
Families starting over. Language, work, a license, and a community that makes it home.
Pick your monthly gift.
$100 is the heart that gives this campaign its name. But $20 makes you just as much a part of it. Choose what works for you.
You can change or stop your gift anytime. No phone call, no guilt. We mean it.
The minute you join, you’re in.
No gift disappearing into a void. Here’s what actually happens.
A real thank-you
Not an auto-receipt. A welcome, and your “I’m a Heart of Hope” badge to share if you’d like.
Your heart on the wall
You go up on the Wall of Hearts, the same size as every other heart, whatever you gave.
Proof it’s working
Short notes from the field. Real moments from across the programs, not spreadsheets.
Looked after carefully, since 1995.
A Christ-centered ministry walking with new neighbors in Louisville and families in Rwanda for nearly 30 years.
