A Gift of

An alumnus of Compassion’s program shares about his childhood in poverty and how his sponsors’ kindness helped him persevere.

"When my family was falling apart ... it felt like this family from Colorado was holding us tightly."

Michael cherished his sponsor letters because his sponsor would quote Scripture and say a prayer for him and his family.

"My sponsors often wrote me letters, and in those letters I first heard the words ‘I love you.’"

"God used an ordinary person to change the life of a child, and He can use you too."

"My Father God’s essence is faithfulness, and He showed me that virtue in the midst of my family’s brokenness through Himself and through my sponsor."

The letters Satish received from his sponsors were filled with love, and they included him as one of their own family.

"My father never thinks about me, but my sponsor took time to let me know that she was thinking about me."
