IN FOCUS
UPCOMING EVENT
"Being able to support individuals with diverse abilities is an honor and working with Light of Hope has given me the opportunity to make a significant impact on lives every day. I've learned so many valuable lessons and skills through my experience here so far. Nothing warms my heart more than getting to make our clients smile and help them showcase their many abilities here at program."
​
At first glance, you can see how passionate Zulema is about her job when you witness the interaction between her and the participants in the Light of Hope Program. Her attentiveness is nothing short of compassion and genuineness which is reciprocated by the ones in her care.

You may see Zulema perform at our upcoming 2nd Annual Winter Wonder Music Festival Fundraiser as one of the opening acts with her group "Prism."

WHAT'S NEW
QUOTE FOR THE MONTH
"Our hearts are always guiding us towards elevation and empowerment. It always wants to lift us up so that we can be more free and thrive and fly, and not to be caged by our own limitations."
Maria Erving
1 - 2- 3 - GO! Let us step over limiting boundaries into a world of new experiences. We, The Naslund & Naslund Foundation LOH Program, encourage our clients to live outside the cage, assisting them to soar to greater heights and dive into deeper depths of life's glorious adventures. Our desire is for each client to live a dream that was once labeled impossible for them, encouraging them to beat the odds, clear the hurdles, and cheer the triumphant. As we stretch our faith, believing our clients can tap into the gifts and talents that have been dormant, and breathe life into the beauty of who they were born to be, we keep hope fresh and new.
