Peers Through The Years

Friends of Hope, Claire and Tanner Evans with their son


Tanner Evans has been a friend of Hope for many years. In 2019, he said that he would like to share a sizeable gift for a special need. It was at this time that we were launching a pilot program called the Liberian Motorcycle Club, a program that helped graduates run small transportation businesses to offset their college expenses. Tanner and Smith were introduced and have remained connected ever since. They are alike in so many important ways: strong leaders, tenacious, hardworking, helpful and generous. There are no two men you could find that shine brighter than these two. 

While Smith was completing his undergraduate degree, he and Tanner stayed in touch. When Smith was given the opportunity to attend school in India and earn a master's degree in mechanical engineering, Tanner once again supported this dream and this opportunity.

Together with Claire and his extended family, Tanner paid the tuition for Smith's master's degree. Seriously, how amazing is that?
