Introducing, “Destination Hope”…

​

Welcome to Destination Hope, a heartfelt series and cornerstone of our Beyond the Hoof digital media programming. Every episode shines a spotlight on the often-overlooked goodness in the world, celebrating the unsung heroes who dedicate their lives to fostering meaningful connections between humans and animals. Across the globe, countless non-profit organizations (NPOs) and compassionate individuals work tirelessly to rescue, heal, and nurture. Many of these sanctuaries of kindness offer not only refuge for animals but also hope and healing for people—a beautiful synergy where hope becomes a destination.

Yet, these organizations often struggle daily to survive. I know this firsthand. As the former manager of a startup NPO in Pennsylvania, I experienced the relentless tug-of-war between financial stability and fulfilling the mission of connecting humans and animals through emotional bonds. It’s a journey full of challenges, and for many organizations, tight budgets permit little room for advertising or marketing, leaving their extraordinary efforts unnoticed.

This is where Destination Hope comes in. Daphne and I are committed to finding and amplifying these beacons of hope, sharing their stories with the world. Through our Beyond the Hoof Digital Media Productions, we aim to provide these NPOs and amazing individuals with a platform to highlight their invaluable work and inspire others to support their missions.

Our Mission

​

Destination Hope is not just another podcast or video series—it’s a movement. Our mission is to honor and celebrate those who dedicate their lives to animal welfare and human well-being, recognizing the profound impact that emotional connections have on individuals and communities.

Animals have an extraordinary ability to give us hope and purpose through the bonds we share. When we embrace accountability for more than just ourselves, we discover purpose, learn to communicate, solve problems, and ultimately, find our true selves.

Through our digital media content, we’re showcasing the tireless efforts of those who impart love and kindness into an often-unfair world. By sharing their stories, we aim to create a ripple effect of positive change—encouraging others to get involved, contribute, and amplify the compassion they witness. Together, we can inspire a global community to celebrate and support these incredible endeavors.

 

Meet Tink, Our Mascot

​

At the heart of our mission is Tink, our beloved mascot who embodies hope, resilience, and the deep bond between humans and animals. The inspiration for Tink comes from my childhood nickname, lovingly given to me by my late father, Ken. My dad’s quiet strength, compassion, and generosity are reflected in Destination Hope and the empathy it represents.

With Tink by our side, Daphne and I bring you heartfelt stories and inspiring conversations that highlight the good in the world. Keep an eye out for Tink’s positive messages and “Think Like Tink” features across our socials. And soon, we hope to share Tink’s spirit with children everywhere through a Tink plushie!
