We didn’t build a ropes course just for fun.

We built it for the young people who have grown up hearing “you can’t.”
For those coming out of the orphanage system carrying limiting beliefs about who they are and what they’re capable of.
And for those who haven't often heard, “You are capable."

And recently, we’ve been watching something powerful happen.

We’ve seen youth choose challenges they didn't think they could do at first.
We’ve heard “I can’t” turn into “I did.”
We’ve watched limiting beliefs fall away.

I recorded a new video to show you:
• Why we built the ropes course
• Three recent transformation moments
• What it looks like now
• And what we’re still dreaming about

Special Moment

I also want to share another special moment.

A few days ago, someone sent me a video from an event where I shared the story of Find Your Path — why we exist and what we believe is possible for these youth. I was invited to this event because Dykeman Electric chose us as the nonprofit they would sponsor during their company retreat in Cancun.

What You're Building

Your donations help youth:

Building resilience.
Confidence.
Identity.
Belief.

We are creating environments where young people who have experienced instability and loss can experience success, courage, and support.

If you’ve already given, thank you! This is your impact.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, this is an invitation.

You can:
• Give toward the next phase of development
• Sponsor a youth experience
• Share the video with someone who might care
• Or come to Mexico and serve with us!

Donate

Thank you for believing in these young people with us and being a part of their transformation <3

With gratitude and love,

P.S. If even one young person walks away believing “I am capable,” it’s worth it. And we’re just getting started.
