I was working my first full time job for Microsoft/Sykes and living in my motor home. The radio was going one night when I heard the Positive Life Radio having a support Compassion program. I listened for a while and then went to the web site to look for a girl to support.
I was browsing down the choices and came across Edilia, she looked so much like Karen Ann that I had to choose her to support. It was love at first site. I started learning Spanish so that I could read her letters not just the translations. I did not learn much but the start was fun anyway. |  |
 | This was the next photo that I received of Edilia, and she was such a cutie as she grew, and I sent her lots of photos and things when we were still allowed to mail things to the kids. I miss those days. It was fun to send them real things, but it saves money and I understand the need to stop sending. |
Edilia's family got a better job and did not need Compassion anymore so in around 2004 she was gone. I was moving and changing jobs so I did not sponsor again until I was settled. I will not go into my sponsorships after Edilia because I had several off and on as I had work,
I will start sharing with the girls that have touched my life since I came back fulltime to Compassion in 2012. Along with some of the devotionals that I have done and letters written to the girls.
