Sonsorship continuation

Well I think most people can relate to how I feel every time I see a World Vision commercial on television. My heart breaks each time I see the commercials. The innocence of the children’s faces, their cute smiles is just plan gut retching. I would sponsor and bring every child to Canada if I could afford to. For many years I wanted to call and sponsor a child and never did, simply because I felt I could not afford to.

2 years ago I started adopting a World Vision Child from Africa. I have been finding it to expensive these days and felt that the admin. Fees were way too high for my liking.

After many weeks of prayer, and struggling whether to cancel with World Vision and go with Kidsalive the decision became clear to me. When I inquired how much it would be a month to sponsor, did they have children in Peru to sponsor, specifically a little girl. They had no girls the day I inquired and 2 days later a girl became available and therefore I felt the decision was to switch.

What is exciting about switching I will get the opportunity to hug, and love up my new sponsored child? I will be able to do something special with her and her sister.
This opportunity of sponsoring this child is more exciting than ever now because it is just not a picture and name it is a reality. I get meet the child and see for myself that she really does exist.

My child’s name is Mercedes and she is 3 yrs old. Mercedes also has a sister Esther in the same care centre who is 11 months old. Here is a picture of my little girl.

They tell me that Mercedes has asthma, but other that is in good health. When Mercedes came to the Kidsalive Centre she was reunited with her baby sister. She immediately recognized her sister and loves to give her kisses. They say Mercedes has adapted well and has won the hearts of all the staff and kids with her cute little curls and big smile.

I think we can all see what they mean by the picture they have sent me of her.
I look forward to meeting Mercedes and Esther when I get to Peru and to the years to come as her sponsor.

God Bless you Mercedes.
