Path to Hope: Kannapolis

On Saturday, August 8th at 9:30 a.m. we will be holding our annual fundraising walk sponsored by the Nissen/Bush team at Village Park in Kannapolis.

Why We Walk

People in Honduras walk for miles to receive medical care. Every step you take on the Path to Hope, and every dollar you raise, will provide medical care for someone in desperate need who is willing to walk miles for the help you can provide.

  • Walk: Register to walk, join a team, or create a team. You can even walk where you live!

  • Donate: Support our walkers through a simple donation. Every dollar empowers a medical mission to provide healthcare and hope.

  • Sponsors: Many thanks to our Platinum sponsor AKLU and our Gold Sponsors Bob Eberle and Marty Lambeth.

Josselyn’s Voice

A Story of Hope

At nearly six years old, Josselyn had never spoken a single word.

Born with a condition known as tongue-tie, her silence wasn’t a choice. It was a barrier that could have been removed with a simple procedure.

But in rural Honduras, where access to healthcare is limited and surgeries like hers are not considered essential, Josselyn’s voice was quite literally out of reach.

That changed the day she found CHHF.

When our medical mission team arrived in her village, they saw more than a diagnosis. They saw a little girl desperate to speak. In just minutes, Josselyn received the surgery she had waited her entire life for. And for the first time, the world had the chance to hear her voice.

But her story isn’t over.

To truly find her words, Josselyn now needs weekly speech therapy and follow-up care. Her mother, Cindy, makes a difficult four-hour journey—two buses and a taxi—just to reach her appointments. The cost? Only $31.29 per week. Life-changing, yet out of reach for families like hers.

Now imagine a child you love never being able to say “Mama,” or ask for help. That’s the daily reality for far too many families in Honduras—unless someone like you steps in.

Be part of Josselyn's Story

Your support gives more than medicine. It gives dignity, possibility, and a future full of connection and confidence.

Because of people like you who care, Josselyn is now in kindergarten—learning, laughing, and making friends. “It’s like she’s an even happier child,” her mother says. “She’s not frustrated anymore—she’s laughing, playing, and learning.”

But countless other children are still waiting.

You can be the reason another child finds health and hope for a bright future.

You can join a medical mission team, attend a fundraiser, give a one-time or monthly donation, or volunteer your skills from home.
There are so many ways to serve—and it all starts with one simple step.

Healing happens every day when you make it possible.

You are Needed

"I was so desperate at the hospital seeing my son Nelson almost dying
and without hope. We did not have money to buy the medicine that he
needed and every second counted. But I trusted God and knew He would
provide. Then CHHF started helping us and we know they were sent by God.”

- Maricela A., mother of a patient

Communities we serve have little to no healthcare

Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the world, with over 48% of the population living in poverty. In rural areas like the Department of Colón, many families struggle to afford even the most basic necessities. With limited income—often less than 92 cents per hour—access to medical care is out of reach for many.

That’s where we come in.

Each year, our clinics provide nearly 10,000 free medical, dental, and vision care visits to those in need. Patients come to restore their health, recover from illness or injury, and receive life-saving medications—all at no cost to them.

Because of our team’s dedication, thousands of people are able to return to work, care for their families, and build a brighter future. Thousands of children grow healthy, continue their education, and learn the importance of health because of the care and education they receive.

Together, we’re making a difference—one patient, one family, and one community at a time.
