About today's program:
The Herd Hope is a youth-led organization that focuses on empowering young people to fundraise for elephants. We operate on the dual mission of teaching teenagers vital leadership skills for fundraising, and promoting a safer future for elephants. So far, we’ve raised $3,550 for elephant sanctuaries like The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya, which I visited in 2024 and sparked my passion for protecting elephants. From then, my friends have joined, and together we’ve led fundraisers and spread our vision to branches in New York and Nigeria.
We’re also so grateful for local support like Lachat Town Farm, which has allowed us to fundraise at their farmers markets and EcoFest! We’ve recently expanded our mission to include our education outreach program, which is the community presentations we’ve started to organize. Our goal by next summer is to raise $10,000 to support elephant conservation and start 5 more branches. Finally, we’re planning a bake sale for the end of October, which we will be posting more about on our Instagram (@theherdhope) soon!

Drawing on nearlytwo decades of pastoral leadership and her current work in the legalprofession, Elayne brings a unique perspective to the difficult conversationsurrounding spiritual abuse, institutional accountability, and the misuse ofreligious authority.
Her journey took an unexpected turn after the tragic deathof her son, an experience that ultimately led her to leave pastoral ministryand begin a new chapter of her life.

Through her Faith, Fraud andFreedom platform, she continues to encourage honest conversations aboutspiritual abuse, challenge systems that protect harmful behavior, and createspace for those seeking truth and healing.

This invitation holds special meaningfor Elayne. Weston, Connecticut, is the community where she raised her daughteras a single mother following the loss of her son. Returning to speak with theKiwanis community brings her story full circle, allowing her to share a missionshaped by profound loss, personal resilience, faith, and an enduring commitmentto justice.
