Perla's mother was very happy to know that the sponsor was going to help them with the donation. Perla was very happy to have a bed of her own.

Perla's thank you letter to all of you.

Dear Donors.
Hello! I am Perla. I am very happy for your donation. I got a stove which will be very useful to prepare meals because I am a very good eater and also I received a bed to sleep very comfortable and groceries like cookies, sugar, salt and jelly. Thank you very much! I will work very hard at school so you can feel proud of me and I will pray God for you.
Thank you very much,

Perla

note from Perla's sponsor.
A big thank you for all that donated. When I saw the photos of Perla I knew that it was only because of all of you, Heather for all she does and the group that I was able to help Perla's family. As one of my sponsored children once wrote to me (May God bless you abundantly so you can help more children)

She was very happy.

Less than $100 Needed for Perla!!

Perla's fundraiser only needs an additional $92.87!! This family is an extremely needy family, and they will beneift greatly from the bed, stove, and clothing. Without this fundraiser, the family would likely never have enough extra funds to purchase these items. Every peso is spent on staying alive. If you can help up get this sweet girl the items she needs, please donate here:

Meet Susan's sponsor children Jessabel & Jenelyn

Susan recently received the two top pictures of Jessabel & Jenelyn's home. They are in desperate need of home repairs (as you can see). The bottom picture shows Jessabel holding baby Jenelyn.
"Over the ocean in a manila slum lives a little family that has become very close to Susan.
She is the sponsor of Jessabel and Jenelyn. The oldest and the youngest of the siblings. Steve was able to meet Jessabel on his most recent visit. Jessabel is full of hope and dreams like all children."
