First Child Sponsorship

Smallchange4bigchange is very excited to announce that the first child in the program has been sponsored. His name is Oscar and he is 10 years old. Oscar is the middle child in a family of three. He has an older brother (12) named Luis, and a younger sister (2) named Angelica. His Father’s name is Jose and his Mother’s name is Maria. Jose had an injection that caused him to lose his sight 12 years ago. Therefore, it is more difficult for him to find work. He has been working in a bakery but has now been told that the bakery might be closing. In speaking many times with this family, both parents expressed a concern for their children’s education and understanding the importance of their studies, but possibly not being able to send them due to lack of funds in the family. Jose does not talk about wanting to gain his sight back, he only wants his family to be taken care of and his children to go to school. This family is a very special family, and God has big plans for them. (Photo below)

It costs $30 per month to keep him in school, and we will be checking on the family and the school (teachers and principal) at least once per month. This money is in the name of a woman in our church who has retired from many years of service to children, both inside the church and out. People will be donating the money on her behalf. God is so good!
