SUMMARY:SAVVY Day: A Conversation on Support\, Solo Living & Aging Abroad
DESCRIPTION:I’m holding a small in-person space in Cuenca for Solo Aging Visibility Day. \nThis isn’t a workshop or a presentation. \nIt’s a guided\, conversational space to pause and take a real look at what supports your life abroad — and what might be missing. \nMany of us have built full\, meaningful lives here.\nBut the structures that support those lives aren’t always visible\, or intentionally built. \nThis space is for exploring that — gently\, and together. \nWe’ll reflect on: \n– what currently supports you\n– what feels clear\, and what doesn’t\n– where you might want more structure or awareness \nNo pressure. No need to have answers. \nJust a chance to step out of the day-to-day and see your life a little more clearly. \n– Cuenca\, May 13 (11:00am – 1:30pm) \nIf this resonates\, send me a message and I’ll share the details.

SUMMARY:Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:On May 1st\, we celebrated 10 years as a foundation. \nOver these past 10 years\, Hogar de Esperanza has experienced phenomenal growth. This kind of growth is rare\, especially in Ecuador\, where the average lifespan of a charity is only 2 to 3 years. Our strength comes from our team and our donors. You believed in us. You supported us. You helped make us one of the more stable foundations in Cuenca\, providing Real Help to Real People with Real Needs. \nOn Saturday\, May 16th\, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM\, we will hold our annual meeting. During this meeting\, we will present our financial statements and share our plans for the future. We remain committed to transparency and responsibility to our donors. \nWe hope you will join us. Whether you are new to Cuenca or have lived here for many years\, this meeting is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about our work and the impact of the foundation. \nYou can register by clicking the link in our pinned post on our Facebook page\, Hogar de Esperanza Ecuador. If you are unable to attend in person\, you may also join us by selecting the Google Meet option. \nWe look forward to seeing you!

SUMMARY:SAVVY Day (Online): A Space to Reflect on Support and Solo Living
DESCRIPTION:I’m also holding an online version of this space for Solo Aging Visibility Day. \nThis is for those living abroad (or thinking about it) who are navigating life more independently — and starting to think about what support really looks like over time. \nIt’s not a workshop or a lecture. \nIt’s a space to step back and reflect on: \n– what’s actually supporting your life\n– where things feel clear\n– where there might be gaps you haven’t fully looked at yet \nThrough guided reflection and shared conversation\, we begin to see what’s often hard to name on our own. \nMost people come in with questions like:\n“Am I the only one thinking about this?”\n“Where do I even begin?” \nYou don’t need answers to join. \nJust a willingness to look at things a little more honestly\, in a space where you’re not the only one. \nOnline — May 17\, 4:00 PM (Ecuador) / 5:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM PT \nIf you’d like to join\, send me a message and I’ll share more.
