When I was 2 years old, my dad, Hal Donaldson, and his brothers
founded Convoy of Hope. Since then, Convoy has grown significantly and
yet its foundation and core values have remained unchanged. For as long
as I can remember, my parents instilled in my sisters and me the
importance of demonstrating kindness, practicing generosity and serving
those in need. Learning this at an early age has shaped us into the
young women we are today. It has given us an understanding that Convoy
of Hope is not what we are, but rather who we are as a family—the very core and mission of our daily lives.
Whether volunteering in the warehouse, distributing groceries at a community outreach, or traveling internationally, taking part in the work of Convoy of Hope has shown me what it means to put compassion into action. Every person I’ve encountered, every warm embrace I’ve shared and every tear shed while serving has helped to transform my life.
Even though poverty and malnutrition continue to threaten our global community, we cannot allow these harsh realities to paralyze us and deter us from action. Rather, we must offer lasting hope to those in desperate need of love and care.
As Convoy of Hope celebrates its 20th year anniversary, I am reminded that the organization has grown beyond its humble beginnings. Today it is a part of a global movement that is helping millions of people each year.
On behalf of my family—and all those who work so diligently—I want to thank you for partnering with us and believing in the mission of Convoy of Hope. Together, we can change the world one life at a time.
