An Evening of Appreciation, Awareness, and Action

Thursday, May 8, 2025, 7:00-8:30 PM
The Beebe Estate
235 W. Foster St.
Melrose, MA

Our partners from the Wellness Clinic located in Goma, DR Congo will be visiting in person! Their city was violently and tragically invaded by rebels in January. Due to the HFOS Community’s generous Goma Crisis Relief effort, our Wellness Clinic partners want to share their heart-felt Appreciation for our generosity in person. They will also raise our Awareness further by providing an update on the situation in Goma and sharing how our Community’s generous investments in the Wellness Clinic impact Goma and the surrounding areas.

This event is not intended to be a fundraiser, but any funds raised due to Action taken at the event will go towards our 2025 Mother’s Day Gift of Life Challenge, in partnership with the Wellness Clinic in Goma again this year.

Light fare and beverages will be provided. There is no cost to attend, but please register by clicking the button below:

Mother’s Day Run

Sunday, May 11, 2025, at 9:00 am
Pine Banks Park
Melrose, MA

This Mother’s Day, join us for the annual Melrose Run for Women. Each year, Hope for Our Sisters gathers a team, the HopeRunners, to honor both the women in our lives and our sisters in Angola, Nepal and DR Congo who are at risk for or have developed fistula in their journey to motherhood. The run itself supports Melrose Alliance Against Violence, and as a team, we will also raise money for HFOS, so you’re doing double the good when you participate. Our goal this year is to raise a total of $5,000, which will go to funding our hope-generating programs.

Signing up to race with our team requires two steps:

Register for the Melrose Run for Women
Sign up as an HFOS fundraiser. Follow the prompts to set up your personal fundraising page and join our team, HopeRunners.
