We are actually going to sponsor one child as a family. This is the children’ s Christmas gift – part of our J.O.Y gifting.

This child will be Jackson’s. He is going to use his allowance (and he will fill in the rest.)

He is so excited! He immediately got out his money and started counting.

THANK you for the reminder to be involved in a relationship. I am sooo terrible for this.

I have our World Vision child on our fridge. But I am always so behind in everything in life, I never send letters etc. TERRIBLE of me.

When I was a teenager and in my early twenties, I would send letters and packages to my sponsored child. But in the last decade, I got too busy.

BUT – I am going to change that!!! We WILL write to our new child from Dominican Republic and to our World Vision child as well.

THANK YOU!!!!

If you have any question over whether or not your trip is making one bit of difference to the readers (and your friends) back here — let me put that doubt to rest.

I finished reading this post bound and determined to sponser a child. I never realized how relational Compassion International was and knowing THAT motivates and inspires. A real name. A real person. A real need. A real blessing (on both sides).

Count me IN! Signing up TONIGHT!
