Your Donation
Makes A Difference
Your gifts help us reduce recidivism, uplift our communities, and transform lives—together.
At Hope Lives – Vive La Esperanza, we believe in second chances, in culturally-rooted healing, and in the power of peer-led support to change lives. Since 2010, we’ve stood alongside individuals impacted by mental health challenges, incarceration, systemic inequities, and trauma—especially within historically underserved communities across Maricopa, Coconino, and Mohave counties.
Your support helps us reach further, care deeper, and walk with people as they reclaim their lives.

Why Your Support Matters:
Too many in our community face barriers to healing simply because of who they are or what they’ve been through. At Hope Lives – Vive La Esperanza, we meet people where they are—with respect, cultural humility, and lived experience. Our team is largely made up of peers who know the path to recovery because they’ve walked it.
But we can’t do this work alone. Your donation fuels hope, dignity, and opportunity.
