HIGH-PRIORITY sponsorships?
High-priority children have been sponsored in the past but recently lost their sponsorship support.
Eylene in Colombia
Eylene is a 7-year-old-girl in Colombia who is being raised by a single mom. This family receives monthly food baskets as part of Eylene’s sponsorship and they are both very grateful for the food, but most importantly, for the spiritual support provided by our ministry partner. Both attend church regularly and Eylene also participates in Bible school where she learns about Jesus. As Eylene faces some health issues, we are also grateful to be able to provide her with medical care through the sponsorship program. Her mother currently works on a flower farm but wants to pursue a professional career to achieve a better quality of life for her and her daughter. Please pray for this family as they take their next steps.
Madelin in El Salvador
One More Child’s sponsorship program in El Salvador changed Madelin’s future. She is currently in fourth grade and lives with her mom and her uncles at her grandparents’ house. She attends church and Bible study regularly with her mother. Her family’s finances are very limited and her mother was not able to pay her tuition, so Madelin didn’t know if she could continue in school. But thanks to One More Child’s sponsorship program, Madelin was provided books, school supplies, and a uniform at the beginning of the school year. She is so grateful for the opportunity to study, learn, and have hope for a better future!
Macdalinia in Haiti
Macdalinia was a little girl with big dreams. From a young age, she would wake up every day and watch other children in the neighborhood run off to school while she had to stay home with her mother to sell fruit at the market. In her small village in Haiti, education was a luxury her family could not afford—but she did not let this stop her.
Macdalinia decided that if she could not go to school, she would begin learning on her own. After finishing work with her mother every day, Macdalinia would try to teach herself how to read. Sitting with her brother’s old notebook, she would trace the letters on the page and repeat words she heard regularly—all the while, holding onto her dream to go to school.
William in Nicaragua
William has been involved in our ministry in Nicaragua for many years. When he was little, he learned about God’s love for him and the importance of community. Over time, as his faith grew stronger, he started participating in the church’s youth activities and he decided to get baptized to show his commitment to God. But his commitment to God has grown even more and extended beyond these activities. He decided that he wants to learn to play the piano to praise God through music and songs. He has also learned how to cut hair, a skill that will allow him to serve others in a tangible way. We are so proud of William for his willingness to use his gifts to serve others. And his growth reminds us that God is always at work, transforming our hearts and lives.
A deeper bond with the children in our program in Romania
A member of our partner staff, Lidia, was engaging with the children in our program in Romania when she suddenly fell. After feeling fine at first, later that night she started experiencing severe back pain. By the next morning, the pain was so severe that she had to go to the emergency room. To recover and heal from her injury, she wasn’t able to attend the children’s program for a while and build deeper relationships with the children. But much to her surprise, she began to witness the children’s love and empathy in a new way. Her colleagues, who visited her daily, would report how sincerely the children prayed for her and how much they missed her. She saw how the children grew in their faith during her absence. When she finally returned to the program, one of the children, Spartacus, prayed and praised God saying “Lord, thank you for bringing Miss Lidia back and that she is with us. Amen.” Their genuine care and concern for her were touching extensions of God’s love.
Vanya in South Asia
One More Child’s ministry in South Asia provides vital, life-saving care to children and families facing dire situations. In collaboration with our ministry partners, we serve vulnerable individuals through our feeding program, tutoring classes, skills training, and spiritual encouragement. Many of these families face extreme food insecurity, with every day being a struggle to survive. This was the case for Vanya’s family in South Asia.
Vanya* is a young girl in a family of six siblings whose lives were consumed by constant hunger. With her father unable to work due to tuberculosis and her mother often sacrificing her own food so her children could eat the little food available, Vanya tried her best to help. She would often resort to taking fruit left at temples and bringing them home to feed her family.
Nervin in Guatemala
Nervin has been a part of our sponsorship program since 2024. His father is one of the few fathers who attend One More Child’s monthly meetings during which families receive a food basket. He is very grateful for the support he receives and expresses interest in improving their living conditions. He is setting a great example to other fathers on the importance of being involved in their children’s lives with a genuine concern for their well-being. The family also received school supplies for the new school year. This story is a great reminder that One More Child’s sponsorship program not only impacts the sponsored child, but also the surrounding family and community.
Mileidy in the Dominican Republic
Mileidy is 31 years old and lives in the Dominican Republic with her 4 children. She dropped out of school in eighth grade and currently works as a homemaker. Her children, all between the ages of 4-14 have big dreams for their future, wanting to study diligently and receive a good education.
This family has been blessed through One More Child’s community development efforts and sponsorship program which has given them the opportunity to live in a safe and stable environment. This family is beyond grateful for their home, the community, and the food baskets they receive each month.
