Dear Friends of Hungary for Love,

After a six-year hiatus, we’re thrilled to announce that Hungary for Love is back with a mission that’s bigger than ever! Since our last project in August 2019, the world has thrown us some curveballs, but our passion for empowering marginalized youth in Hungary never wavered. This July, we’re heading back to the heart of Transylvania to the village of Érkőrös, and we can’t wait to reconnect with our longtime Hungarian partner, KCA, and serve alongside the incredible local community there. Our mission remains steadfast: to improve the livelihood of marginalized youth in Hungary by providing resources that unlock their potential through learning and opportunity. We’re ready to make a tangible difference again and we want YOU to be part of the adventure!

Our upcoming project is a game-changer for Érkőrös, a small village with big dreams. We’re teaming up with KCA to transform an existing building into a vibrant hub for after-school tutoring, community events, and essential facilities like plumbing and toilets — amenities the village currently lacks. KCA has already laid the foundation and started the plumbing and now it’s our turn to help bring this vision to life. Picture this: a space where kids can study, dream, and grow, where families can gather, and where the community can thrive. This isn’t just a building; it’s a beacon of hope, and we’re beyond excited to see it take shape with our own hands next month!

To make this dream a reality, we need to raise $12,000 to cover the cost of bricks for the walls, concrete reinforcement for the roof, wooden roofing materials, roofing plates, and gutters. The labor? That’s covered by an all-star team of KCA’s technical experts, local volunteers, the local church, and our enthusiastic crew of six traveling from the U.S. Every penny you donate goes directly to this project because as always, we promise that 100% of your contributions fund the project materials and resources needed. We’ve seen the power of your generosity before and we’re humbly asking for your support to help us hit this $12,000 goal and bring this transformative space to the people of Érkőrös.

Want to do more than donate? Come join us! We’re opening our hearts and our team to anyone who wants to roll up their sleeves and serve alongside us this July — or keep us in mind for future trips! Whether you’re swinging a hammer, playing games with the kiddos, or simply cheering us on, your involvement makes a world of difference. This project is a chance to rebuild, reconnect, and reignite hope in a community that’s ready for change. We’ve waited six long years to return to Europe.  Together, we can create something extraordinary in Érkőrös and we can’t wait to share this experience with you.

As we embark on this exciting chapter, we’re reminded of the words from Galatians 6:9: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” This teaching fuels our enthusiasm and reminds us that every effort, every donation, and every moment we spend serving is planting seeds for a brighter future, for eternity. Join us in this harvest of hope—donate today, spread the word, or come along for the ride! Let’s make Érkőrös a place where love and opportunity flourish. Visit our website to contribute or contact us to join our team. Here’s to new beginnings and much love!

With gratitude and excitement,
The Hungary for Love Team
