"Dear Tamara, I thank you for being so lovely and always think of Francheska. She feels part of your family and she liked the pictures, coloring book, coloring pencils, doll , story books and your letter you sent.The child was happy for the present. What she liked most was the doll."

She was afraid when she lost her tooth but then she understood that it will come again. She likes playing ball games along with hercousin, Joel Manuel, who is always at home along with us because his mother works. Here, rarely there is cold, it is alway hot. Francheska says that it looks funny playing in the snow as Sterling does on the picture. She is in the second grade and her Teacher's name is Yania.

63 assorted groceries

Angelito and his family are very happy and feeling blessed when they received the special gift. Angelito was excited to visit the mall together with his mother. He was satisfied with the food they ate. His experience during marketing was unforgettable and he wished that his sponsor is also with him that time and see how happy he was. He would like to express his appreciation and thankful for the kindness of his sponsor.

The gift will benefit the child and family:
Through the gift,he was able to buy a mattress for his family. They now have a comfortable sleep area. The mother of Angelito is very excited to use the new portable gas stove. She will no longer use the old kerosene stove which is already damaged and not safe for cooking. Likewise it will also facilitate the cooking of the mother. angelito is also glad to have his own plastic cabinet so he can organize his clothes and other personal stuff. They also purchased grocery items for their daily needs. His parents will no longer worry about their food for days to come. He is happy having all these things.
