Frequently Asked Questions
  • WHAT IS SPONSORSHIP?
    Child sponsorship builds a relationship between individual donors and sponsored children. Sponsors provide a tax deductible monthly gift, which is used to provide assistance for their sponsored children.

    The cost is just $35.00 a month and will provide a child with clothing, school supplies, toiletries, toys and other needed items for one year. Other sponsorships are available under Sponsor a Child page.

  • I WOULD LIKE TO SPONSOR A CHILD CLOSE TO MY CHILDREN’S AGES; CAN I DO THAT?
    Yes, you can select age and gender.

  • CAN I WRITE TO MY SPONSORED CHILD?
    We encourage the sponsors to write letters to their child. All correspondence from the child will be sent to the sponsor.

  • WHO BUYS THE GIFTS FOR THE KIDS?
    Volunteers shop for each child individually so every child is receiving things specifically to meet his/her needs.
