Hope motivates us to keep going, even when things seem impossible or insurmountable. When we have hope, we believe that better days are ahead and that we can make positive changes in our lives and in the world around us.
We would like to capture this Hope in a poem or in an art piece, and we are asking you to help us. Can you create a piece of art that will inspire hope and help families through their darkest hours? Can your words inspire hope, and keep families going? We would love to see what you can create and if you would like to enter our ‘Hope Competition’.
