Thank you for sponsoring me. Your sponsor gift has helped my family. My grandmother took me to buy shoes and clothes, oil, rice, beans, fruits and vegetables and pots and pans to cook with. She also let me get a stuffed teddy bear who goes everywhere with me. My teacher Carmen at the project let us paint pictures of our favorite things and I painted my teddy bear and you. Please pray for my father he is very sick. He can not work. My mother has left to look for work while my grandmother takes care of us. Every day we go to the project. I make many friends there. We play ball and eat tortillas with cheese. I think about the time you came to visit on your sponsor trip and I hope you can come again soon. I like to play with you. I pray for you every day and pray you are happy. God loves you.
Maria

This blog post is written on behalf of our sponsored Compassion child in Nicaragua. The name is fictitious but the circumstances and style of writing are very similar to the sponsor letters we have received. The excerpt at the bottom of this blog post is from Wikipedia and provides a concise description of the poverty in Nicaragua. You can make a difference in a child’s life. It doesn’t cost that much, is easy to do, and is tax-deductible. Sponsor a child through Compassion. Click this link to: Sponsor a Child
