Three Years ago, almost exactly, i had this nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach, i wanted to sponser a child. It had been something i wanted to do for a long time, but of course there was always "excuses" not to do it. When i got this "nagging" feeling i knew that it was something we HAD to do. We were more financially stable, and it was going to be well worth it.

A week had gone by since our decsion, and i still had not rung up any companies. I walked to the supermarket and there standing at the door was a table with a huge spread of children, and i knew i couldn't wait any longer.

When the lovely girl stopped me to talk about World Vision, i said YES! straight away, and the look of shock but relief washed over her face. She picked up a young girls pack, age 12, and said would you like to pick your child and i said no. She had picked up a random pack so i knew this girl was for me. 

We recieve letters 2-3 times a year, about how she and her family are progressing in life. we get pictures, and drawings.

At the end of 2006 my husband lost his job, we were on the bones of our bums, and i had made the desicion to stop sponsering our girl How could we look after her when we couldnt look after ourselves. That morning i checked my mail, on my way to the bank to stop my automatic payment, and we recieved another letter  from Chandra. I couldn't do it! So that month we made our payment, and just after that we were given a food parcel and some omoney to help us out.

We wont ever stop sponsering our girl, she needs us, and she is apart of our life, even though we may not see or hear from her that often.$40 is a small price to help get rid of poverty.
