Kendra Scott Helps Foster Children Have Joy

Kendra Scott understands that foster children need normalcy in their lives and birthday boxes are a way for families to bond and joy to be brought to the children.

Kendra brings beauty to the world through their craft, now they are helping children see beauty in the world and that people care. 

We are grateful for Kendra’s support and sponsorship to this mission to bring birthday boxes to foster children and help them in their day through recognition, validation, and letting a kid, be a kid.

Hope Builds Life – Helps the next generation in Trades!

May 27, 2025

Construction Career Academy helps prepare the next generation of high school graduates to join the Trades Industry.

Thanks to private and corporate donations, Hope Builds Life was able to provide tool grants to five deserving students entering the trades workforce next month with $1,000 gift cards to a home improvement store. 

Our mission is to close the growing trades gap by giving new tradesmen a head start by helping them get the tools they need to succeed at their new trade.

Dreambox Birthday Boxes has started its deliveries! We are grateful to be able to help put these together with the help of our partners and donors. 

Shoutout to Jeremiah’s Italian Ice for their contributions to the boxes!

We are in process of the next batch now. If you want to help us you can donate money for the gift cards and cakes or you can directly purchase items for the boxes that we need.

Let’s make sure every foster kid has a real birthday party. It is the little things that help them feel worthy. Help us celebrate their life on their birthday.

Closing the Trades Gap is Fully Funded!

Closing the Trades Gap Fully Funded for 2025

Hope Builds Life is thankful and grateful for the outpouring of support. Closing the Trades gap was our first program started with HBL. Through that time, building the awareness of the frighteningly growing gap of skilled labor in our trades industry, people have expressed their desire to help us in this mission. 

We have received donations, formed partnerships with local trades companies, and connected with Construction Careers Academy in NISD. As a result, we are able to provide tool scholarships to deserving students who lack the funding and finance to buy their first set of tools needed to start their career off on solid footing.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible and here is to hoping you’ll continue with us on our journey in closing the trades gap that grows each year in America.

Stay tuned to hear about our scholarship winners in the coming months. We will update this page.
