Giving Tuesday | Hope Unlimited

It’s that time of year again – Giving Tuesday!

In Brazil, at Hope Unlimited, Giving Tuesday has become an exciting day where impossibly big dreams of serving the community can become a reality!

What’s our Dream this Giving Tuesday?

Last September, we experienced our first natural disaster. At the City of Youth, high winds converged and ripped the entire roof off our vocational training complex!

The entire roof, about the size of a basketball court, was carried hundreds of feet where it landed on one of our children’s homes, the enormous steel trusses penetrated the roof. Thank God most of the girls were away at school, and there were only a couple minor injuries repair

This roofing incident was spectacular. But for many years, the rest of our roofs have been badly in need of repair. Our larger complexes are covered with galvanized steel roofs (sometimes known as “tin” roofs), which are starting to leak at rivets and connecting points, with constant water damage to interior walls, furnishings, and equipment. To give you an idea, the roof of our main Hope Mountain complex is roughly the size of a football field!

Fortunately, we have been able to complete most of the emergency roofing repairs at the City of Youth (repairs to the interior is pending).

But we hoping to use this to leverage a long-time, seemingly impossible dream: the repair and reinforcement of all our roofs. Brazil has been experiencing unusual storms, so we anticipate the problems to intensify. Just last week, Parana state was declared a national disaster area due to intensive rainfall.

To perform reinforcement and repairs to all our galvanized steel roofs is estimated to cost a whopping $90,000!

But we serve a great God, so we will allow ourselves to dream. The peace-of-mind it would give our staff team would be a true Godsend.

If you want to help make another dream come true, please keep an eye out for our emails and social media posts on Giving Tuesday.

Test Drive Bet365 — My Authentic Experience

I always approach such sites warily. I don't like it when bonuses look attractive and then evaporate or have 100 conditions. But Bet365 pleasantly surprised me — everything turned out to be sincere.

Initially, I spent some time examining the rules. There is a whole section on licenses and legal information — it's clear that it's not just a form. I also noticed that the site has tools for game control: setting limits, timers, and even the possibility of a pause for a certain period.

Games — for every preference. I settled on slots with free spins because I love the excitement. The winnings were humble, but I managed to withdraw everything without commissions. I communicated with support — they responded in English, without a translator. This is also an important element for me.

What else I liked — the mobile version works without glitches. I tested it on the go, and there were no disturbances, even with slow internet. I didn't install the app because everything works from the browser anyway.
