What is a Sponsor Family?
We'll let Connie tell you all about her experience: Years ago, at age 17, I was expecting my first child, Jonathan (Jon). Although I had more family support than Jules (the woman she sponsored, name changed for privacy), I understood what it was like to be unsure of the future, while conscientiously wanting to provide the best possible security for a baby...

Courtney's Story
It was my senior year of high school when I became pregnant. Like most teenagers I was rebellious, angry and insecure. I was also in an extremely abusive relationship, and believed I deserved every derogatory and physical mistreatment I got. Drug charges soon put my then boyfriend in jail for a year and I was left to face one of the hardest decisions of my life.... Continue |

Tis Not the Season for Bullying
The Holiday Season is traditionally a time of family, friends, love, joy, sharing and good tidings. Regardless of our spiritual beliefs, this time of year often brings out the very best in people as they seek ways to bless others. Sadly, for many reasons, it can bring out the worse in others...

Walking
through the rubble...and winning!
If you’ve been alive more
than two decades, you’ve likely experienced
more than your own fair share of life-rubble. The
rubble in our lives can take on many “faces.” When
we are buried beneath the wreckage of our pasts,
it makes living in the present extremely difficult,
and the thought of the future downright terrifying... CONTINUE |

or giving gifts of eternal value... CONTINUE |

Celebrating how sponsor families

Most of the young people that went to my school and lived in my neighborhood were statistics. If you weren’t the one out of four that were graduating, you were either going to end up dead, in jail, an addict, a struggling teen mom, or a drug dealer and/or gang member." CONTINUE |
