Top 10 reasons to sponsor a child as told to us by sponsors
Our sponsors say . . .*
Because I truly care and, having four children myself, I want to help someone else.
*****
I have always thought about doing it and I just decided now was the time. My kids had so much and I know there are a lot of kids in need.
*****
Realizing that such a small amount of money in a year can make a huge difference for a child. A one-year sponsorship is what I'd normally spend on groceries for a month.
*****
Giving children a little support doesn't cost me that much, yet it gives me enormous joy, a sense of purpose and a stronger feeling of participation with my fellow humans in the big picture.
*****
To pass on some of the many blessings I have in my life.
*****
To help my children understand poverty and hardship in a context that is easily emotionally accessible for them. Moreover, if we want to improve and help it seems a good idea to start with sponsoring children.
*****
When I read or hear about all the hungry little children in the world, I want to do something to help them . . . but there are so many, I think, how can I make any difference? And then it came to me, I can help one . . . at least I am making a difference in one little life, it's a start.
*****
I want to make a difference in another child's life, especially when I look at my own child and the children I work with and know how fortunate they really are and to think that some children don't even have their basic needs being meant. The monthly cost is low, but the effects I know will be tremendous. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to help someone in need!
*****
I am raising three grandchildren and I see the difference we are making in their lives . . . one more is even better.
*****
My oldest daughter and I were watching TV and stopped on your show. We took the opportunity to talk about children all over the world who do not have enough to eat, go to school or have a comfortable bed to sleep in at night. It was an eye-opener for her and we decided together that we should help a child. It was her idea to select a child in her age group. We look forward to hearing about our sponsored child and her development. Thank you.
You, too, can make a difference in a child's life. Become a Plan USA child sponsor today!
