A story from the field
María found a table with her name on it
“My children ask on Tuesday if it’s SALA day yet. It’s the one day I know I don’t have to figure out dinner alone.” — María, 31
She crossed from Venezuela with two children and one bag. The first thing Medellín gave her that didn’t run out was a hot meal — every single week.
The next door we open — together
A safe home for 15 mothers and their children
When leaving danger means sleeping on the street, “get out” isn’t advice. The TIKVA Care Shelter is a 4-month path from crisis to independence: stabilize, train, find work, move on.

Where your money goes — and who handles it
TIKVA operates under the fiscal sponsorship of New Hope Community Church in Clovis, California, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. That means an established US church provides the legal structure, accounting, and oversight — so a small ministry in Medellín can stay focused on the work, not the paperwork.
