Hope & Healing: Olive’s Sponsorship Story

Facing displacement and fear, Olive needed a place of refuge — and that's what she found at her local Compassion center.

Written by Elias Seeman

A life forever changed. That’s what Olive’s found through her local church. The church partnered with Compassion and Olive got sponsored. And her sponsors faithfully wrote letters. These letters reminded Olive of the words her grandfather used to tell her: “You have a future.”

This is a message of hope. A hope that poverty tries to take from children, but one that each child deserves. That’s why Compassion partners with the local church in countries across the world. This partnership empowers local Compassion centers to provide the care, love, hope and healing that each child needs.

Watch Olive’s story to hear her share about how sponsorship changed her life.

Help a center give hope and healing.
