Some of our children and their gifts last year at our Give Amore Christmas Party!
Happy Thanksgiving Faithful Partners!
We hope this short newsletter finds you overflowing with gratitude and joy seeing a small glimpse into the goodness you are contributing to our brothers and sisters across the globe!
We are so thankful for your partnership-not just in prayers but in ACTION as you make a difference to your brother and sisters around the world!
As we head into the holiday season full force, I am asking for your prayerful consideration in helping us not only with Christmas gifts and a feast for our families in Kenya but to help us make up the deficit in our sponsorship program. We have had 30%+ increases in the cost of EVERYTHING. We have been covering this as long as possible without raising the sponsorship amount for our children. Unfortunately, the prices are just too high now and cannot afford to do that any longer.
I am currently facing a difficult decision of possibly NOT having a Christmas feast/gift for the children in order to TRY to afford school fees in January. As a mom this breaks my heart. As the director of Give Amore, it’s a pretty big deal that not only do we not have a cushion in our account any longer but we, in fact, have a SHORTAGE for funds for our sponsorship program.
We pay half the school fees for our children in January as well as uniforms, shoes, books, school supplies and the monthly provision of food. If we don’t have enough funds to cover this, I’m not sure what we will do. When given the choice between food and education, it’s a pretty hard choice! I pray that I don’t have to make that choice. In the past, God has always shown up mightily for us by moving in the hearts of others to be the light in this world!
So, I humbly ask that you consider a few things:
Giving to our Christmas fund
Giving a general donation for 2023 on top of any current donations
Increasing your monthly sponsorship by $25 or $50 per month (as able)
We cannot thank you enough for your generous giving. It’s because of this that I have such a hard time asking for more from anyone! But, God says to ask and it will be given unto you. Ask and that door will be opened. Ask and you shall receive.
We cannot wait to see how God provides!
With Much Love and Gratitude,
Christa Horst and the Give Amore Team
