You might be wondering...is there a way to write to your sponsored child? Can I have a relationship with them? Will I receive updates? The answer to all those questions is YES! You can write to your child as often as you like! HopeCo has an online form for this, or you can send physical letters, cards, stickers, and photos. Due to the involved process of getting mail from our ministries, you can look forward to hearing from your child twice a year. In addition, you will receive an annual Progress Report and photo showing how your child is doing. You can even visit your sponsored child as a mission team member or intern. Best of all, you can pray for your child daily!

HopeCo will be welcoming 60 new children into our care this year and we need sponsors for them! Your gift will help to provide the essentials children, like Caleb*, need for a new beginning! Caleb was born in 2013 and is the oldest of four children. His father was killed by a crocodile while caring for livestock, and his mother disappeared after taking the children to live with their grandmother after the accident. The grandmother did the best she could but was unable to properly care for them, so now they all live at the City of Hope! Caleb attends Destiny Primary School and and his favorite subject is Language Arts!

When you sponsor a child, you provide them with the support they need to break free from the cycles of poverty and abuse like early marriages and child labor. Your gift ensures they receive essentials like: -Food and clothing -School uniforms, books, and fees -Medical care -Counseling and guidance Most importantly you are giving them a chance to hear the good news of Christ! They learn what it means to have a relationship with Jesus and to depend on Him! To read more about these Hopeful Hearts, click here: https://lnkd.in/gscBPEsD
