I am so not about guilt-tripping, but if you have ever considered it or perhaps didn&#8217;t even know it was an option, I encourage you to pray about it, budget accordingly and sponsor a child of your own. Although none of us can change the world, we can change the world of one child.<\/p>\n<p>The love, comfort and provision child sponsorship brings to the lives of these kids is a tangible example of Christ&#8217;s love for them. And that to me&#8230; is worth every penny. And its not even that many pennies at just $32 a month.<\/p>\n<p>With your financial assistance, you can give a vulnerable child what they urgently need: food, education, medical care, and most importantly, the knowledge that somebody cares for them\u2014that someone outside of their circle of existence wants a better future for them. That simple thought can be inspiring and life-changing for a child in need. Your help can be the critical link for the well-being of the child living on the edge of poverty and despair.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>I do what I speak. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I first met PhaPhama in March 2007 during my first <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinkhairedgirl.net\/?p=382\">South African Mission<\/a>. Soon after I returned to the US I began sponsoring her through <a href=\"http:\/\/onelifechild.org\">One Life Child<\/a>. Around Christmas time 2007 I felt called to sponsor another child and in January 2008, Mediatrix joined &#8220;my family&#8221; through <a href=\"http:\/\/compassion.com\">Compassion International<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image791\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pinkhairedgirl.net\/wp-content\/ug5300184-fullshot-200w.jpg\" alt=\"ug5300184-fullshot-200w.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mediatrix Nabwire<\/strong><br \/>\nBirthday: February 8<br \/>\nAge: 7<br \/>\nGender: Female<br \/>\nRegion: Africa<br \/>\nCountry: Uganda<br \/>\nProgram: Nsoono<\/p>\n<p>View the first letter I received from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinkhairedgirl.net\/wp-content\/mediatrix-nabwire.pdf\">Mediatrix Nabwire<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image792\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pinkhairedgirl.net\/wp-content\/n525345187_1402806_29361.jpg\" alt=\"n525345187_1402806_29361.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>PhaPhama Maqeda<\/strong><br \/>\nBirthday: March 15<br \/>\nAge: 6<br \/>\nGender: Female<br \/>\nRegion: Africa<br \/>\nCountry: South Africa<br \/>\nProgram: Oceans of Mercy<\/p>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-child-sponsorship","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
