Helping Hands Furnish Hope
Story by Bend Lifestyle Magazine
A home is one of the most precious gifts we have in life. It’s our shelter and comfort. Most of us cannot imagine losing our home. However, life comes with many unexpected twists, making us all vulnerable. No one knows that better than Megan Martin, founder of nonprofit Furnish Hope. After working as a teacher and principal for 20 years, Megan lost her dream job, forcing her to sell her home and many belongings. Devastated, she prayed. Her faith brought her a powerful vision. While still trying to get on her own feet, she felt compelled to create something for others in need. That vision is now called Furnish Hope.
