Meet Keyla

This is my newest child. I plan on sponsring her sister Tania who is also on the site tomorrow if she is stil there. Keyla lives in Honduras. She is 6 years old and will be turning 7 on February 18th. She lives at home with her 4 siblings: Tania who is 3, Darlin who is 2, Jenser is 10, and Fenlin who is 12. They live with their parents. Their mom is a homemaker and dad is a daily laborer. They live in a house with one multi use room. The walls are made of wood, the floor concrete and the roof currugated metal. They sleep on fold out beds. I look forward to getting to know her and hopefully her sister!

Two letters from Adorable Adriana

I received these two letters from Adriana. The first one was her welcome letter. The 2nd one I got in response to a letter I sent her right after I started sponsoring her. I can definitely tell her disability is all physical and not mental. She seems like a very smart, affectionate child. I am waiting on alot of reports on Adriana. Unfortunately it will be about another month until I get them and I know why she is in a wheelchair and how I can help her.

Letter from Lizbeth!

This is my latest letter from my sweet Lizbeth. One interesting thing is that she printed this letter which she never has before so has me wondering why.

Letter from Iris

This is from my sweet Iris in Honduras.

Letter from Juana

I received this letter from Juana the other day. I no longer sponsor her but they told me they wanted to send it along anyway.

Meet Hosanna!!!

This is Hosanna my newest sponsor "child". She really isn't a child anymore but a beautiful young lady. She is 18 years old. But some time ago she had a fever and was asleep for a few days. When she woke up she lost the use of her legs. In Cambodia where she is, it is considered bad luck if a child is sick. So she was sent away. She now lives in a home with a great american couple who takes in camboadian kids that have no home. Hosanna is disabled but she doesn't let it stop her. She takes piano lessons and vocal lessons, she is quite the artist and she is studying both English and Korean. She is only studying at a 4th grade level so I am not sure how long she has been disabled or how long it has been since she has been in school. I am so excited to get to know her better!

Jhojaris gets her SNG!

Yesterday I received the SNG report from Jhojaris. I was pleasantly surprised at all the stuff she got. When I put up the fundraiser I put it up for a little over $200. Jhojaris didn't have any shoes to go to school or gym shoes that fit her. She also needed a bed. When the fundraiser stopped getting donations I had found out that CI wouldn't put in for just the shoes. That the page either had to be closed or fully funded. There was $140 raised but I shut it down so she could get the shoes she needed. I was so surprised when I opened the pictures and she got he shoes, sneakers, AND her bed! Plus food, a fan, and an outfit!
The thing that got me sad is the report stated that she doesnt have many clothes and the clothes she does have does not fit her :-( I am hoping in the new year I can send money just for clothes.

Jostins Food Project!!

These are new pictures of Jostin with his monthly food supply! Each month his family gets $100 to spend on food because of his special needs. These are the new pics. He is looking healthier and bigger!

Katherine's New photo

I was pleasantly surprised when I looked in my account and found Katherine had a new photo! She wasn't due for one until January!

More xmas packages!

These packages are going to Iris in Honduras and the twins in Chile!

Xmas packages

Jhojaris's Package


Brayan's Package

Well since I now have 13 kids, I decided to order Xmas packages for the kids through the Mac blog! I ordered them for everyone except my Guatemala girls because I thought I was going to have to give them up and now don't have the funds! So I will send them coloring book and things to the Kansas City office.

Since I am not currently getting any good CI mail I thought I would post the pics of the packages as I get them! First up was Barranquilla. I got packages for both my kids there, Jhojaris and Brayan.
Jhojaris is getting a coloring book and crayons, a book,a heart necklace, Sunglasses , and a small mind game.
Brayan is getting a coloring book and crayons, book, socks, a hot wheel and a beanie baby.

Meet Adriana

So this is Adriana who caught my attention today! As most of you know I like to sponsor kids with disabilities since my niece is disabled. When I saw her picture I was drawn to her. But before I could sponsor her she disappeared off the site. I did call though and was told she was not sponsored! So she was added to my account!

She lives in Guayaquil, Ecuador with her parents. She doesn't have any siblings according to the report. She will turn 12 on November 8th. Her father is a brick layer and her mom doesn't work. They live on about $200/month. Their home seems very stable and adequate. The walls, roof, and floor are all made of concrete. They have a living room, kitchen and 3 bedrooms! They do have running water and regulated electricity.

Her favorite activitie is playing with dolls and painting. She is in school and her favorite subjects are Music, Art, and Math.

I will put her past pictures on here. She looks so different in many of them. I am going to try to get her out a small intro package this week.

JOSTINS SNG

Jostin was provided with the food he needs to survive. He has a medical condition and his family can't afford the food he needs.

Gabriela's Family!

Lynn Marie and I started sonsoring these sweeties from Mexico not long ago. Gabriela is my child and Fernanda is Lynn Maries. They are twins and such cuties. Here is a picture of their family I received.


First girl from the right is their sister Alejandra, next to her is their mom Rosa, she is holding Josue (he is her sister Yadira's son), then her sister Yadira. Fernanda is in the green shirt and Gaby is in the blue shirt.

New Brayan picture!

I definitely wasn't expecting to see this picture! The last picture of him was just taken in Feb! And he is actually smiling :-)

Gleny and Montserrat's family photos!

I got their family pics today! Gleny is in the sweatshirt with the butterfly on it and Montserrat has the mickey sweatshirt. Their grandma and 5 year old brother, Pablo are also in the photo!

Letter from Lovely Lizbeth

Dear Sponsor,


Hello how are you? I greet you and your family with affection. I want to tell you that I feel very happy because I am doing fine in school. I am learning to divide, it is still difficult for me but I will learn it. I am attending psychology classes; I play there but the most that I like to play is doctor to cure my dolls. I look forward to being on vacation, from school, so that I will spend the time playing and resting. When you come here for vacation, I invite you to visit my house. I say thanks to God for wonderful people like you in this world. Thank you very much for the nice shoes I wear to go to school. I say goodbye with much love. I send you many hugs and kisses from the distance.

Lizbeth

Twins Bday DP!

I sent a DP for the twins in Chile back at the end of May! The office received it June 25th and the girls picked it up July 1st! They look happy......Gleny I believe is in the red and Montserrat in the purple. This is really a guess but I am judging by which card I sent which! LOL

Gabriela's New Picture

I checked my account today and was happily surprised to see a new photo of Gabriela. She is my newest child from just last week! She is a cutie.

Twins Bday Celebration!!!!!

Here are the twins in Chile celebrating their 4th birthday at school with their grandma, classmates, and teachers!

Meet Gabriela!

I know, I know I keep saying my last one! I won't even waste by breath this time! Because I just never know. But anyway this is 6 year old Gabriela from Mexico. She lives with her parents and 3 sisters! One of her sisters is her twin which was sponsored today by Lynnmarie! We now share two sets of twins! I look forward to getting to know the girls. Kiara is going to help sponsor her!

Jessica at school!

I sent in a donation for Jessica to receive two months of physical therapy. At the end of that they will evaluate her to see if it is helping her and then we will go from there. They sent me these photos of Jessica at school with the report! It is kind of neat to see her with her friends!

Katerine and her family!

Here is Katerine also in rural Guatemala and her family. Her report says she lives with relatives as her father works out of the area and her mother abandoned the family. I believe the girl in the red t-shirt is her sister Jackeline. She also has a 14 year old sister Daniela (not sure who she is in the picture). I'm guessing maybe the rest of the kids are cousins, not sure. The reports from Guatemala arent very detailed!
