In 1988, Lorrie's Gawryla, a US citizen, nutritionist and registered nurse, had a spiritual calling to help the homeless children in El Salvador. Inspired by this vision, she has been traveling to Latin America since 1993, initially volunteering with Healthcare Ministries to provide medical clinics in impoverished neighborhoods in San Salvador, El Salvador. Moved by the plight of the homeless children in San Salvador, she felt compelled to improve their situation.
In 1997 Lorrie Gawryla, RN, BS along with Brenda Goldman, Celeste Glass, RN, BS, Donna Corrigan working with Dr. Robert Mooney as medical advisor founded Hope for Kids Inc., a nonprofit therapeutic foster care agency for infants, children and adolescents in the state of Pennsylvania with severe psychological, medical and emotional needs. This successful model was then expanded to El Salvador, where the non-governmental organization (NGO) Hope for Kids was founded. In July 2004, Lorrie Gawryla resigned as president of Hope for Kids Inc. and founded Hope International Services Inc. in order to focus all her attention on the needs of the homeless children in San Salvador.
