Emilly makes friends easily and enjoys spending her free time singing or playing netball. She looks forward to attending school each day and likes to express her creativity in her art class. With a kind spirit, Emilly has dreams of becoming a teacher and helping others learn. Although Emilly is a cheerful child, she has faced tragedy in her young life. Her mother died when she was a baby and her father was unable to care for their children on his own. Emilly and her siblings now live with their aunt. Although their aunt works hard to care for them, she struggles to afford even basic necessities. Through sponsorship, Emilly will receive things like nutritious meals, basic medical care, and a quality education.

Why sponsor a child?
“Child sponsorship is very rewarding because you know you're making a difference for that child. But the blessing you will receive far surpasses even the difference you make in the children's lives. You will see God at work!”
— Lita, Kentucky
“Sponsoring two little girls from Guatemala has changed the way I see life. As Christ-followers, we are called to love God and love others. I believe that we love God through loving others, and child sponsorship gives us the opportunity to do that.”
— Kayla, Virginia
“I believe child sponsorship is a way to touch the future. It's important to invest in the next generation, both here and around the world.”
— Margaret, California
