Day 26 - Child Sponsorships Part 2
Welcome to the second day of the focus on Child Sponsorship. Are you ready?
If you are back after reading Day 25, awesome! I was afraid I would scare everyone away. I am also hoping it means that you have made the decision to sponsor a child. Double awesome. Below are two more great programs which rely on child sponsorships to fund the day to day needs for staff (particularly childcare staff, remember most organizations do not compensate non-Chinese workers), housing, food, medical care and all the other things kids need to grow up well. Both organizations do amazing work, and each is very different from the other. I love that! I love that there are people who have been given different visions, different gifts and different parts to play in this orphan care puzzle. (Mixed metaphor, I know.) So read, reflect and consider whether today is the day you make that commitment. There will be three (or four?) more days featuring other child sponsorship opportunities, so come back tomorrow, too!

China Little Flower
I worked with China Little Flower for several years by taking children who had had surgery or other complex medical treatment through Little Flower into the foster homes I managed in order to free up critical space in their high care facility. What a privilege to welcome those little ones, healed and thriving, and care for them until their forever families came to get them. Through that relationship I was able to see the great work that China Little Flower does for so many children and to visit their homes. A monthly donation through China Little Flower's sponsorship program will truly be an investment in the future of children who need it most.

Our Sponsorship Program is a little different. Many of our projects involve building our children’s strength until they’re ready to find their forever families. With that kind of work, children are coming in and out of our care every week. We have a “Featured Child” Sponsorship program, where each month, we feature a new child’s story–their arrival to Little Flower, their treatment, and where they are now. Sign up to sponsor our Featured Child every month, get to know their stories, and 100% of your donations will go directly toward the care of children just like them. Sponsorships begin at $25 per month.

Our children need a lot of care. They have a range of conditions and are all different ages. Physical and mental disabilities mean daily therapy, frequent hospital visits and regular medication. Your monthly support gives these children the essential care they wouldn’t otherwise get, along with a home, food, warm clothes, and education. These costs are more than a single sponsor can normally provide, so each of our children has up to 10 sponsors. They partner with like-minded sponsors around the world to give our children high quality care and a future.
Sponsorship lets you personally help an abandoned child lead a full life. ICC sponsorships are $35 per month. They have some great options to create a relationship with your sponsored child through messages, letters, small gifts and even visits. LEARN MORE |
