Thank you for sharing your story! It gave me goosebumps and made me want to cry. Compassion has been a part of our lives now for 12 years and I am so thankful for what it is doing around the globe. I praise God for how He is working through this organization!

Michelle is an amazing woman, and the Brasile’s are an amazing family. God has used them both in an awesome way to touch the lives of so many! Esther, thanks for encouraging all of us to make sponsorship real through communication, not just sending our money.

What a GREAT story! I’ve heard Michelle’s story, but it was great to hear it from Esther’s perspective. I LOVE that Michelle was a bridesmaid in Leah’s wedding. So cool.

I love hearing this story from the sponsors’ perspective! The young lady we’ve sponsored all these years in Thailand — Siriporn — was accepted into the LDP as well, and graduates in one year. I sure plan to be there for her graduation, God willing. I can’t wait to wrap my arms around that beautiful young “daughter” of mine! Thank you so much for this wonderful post!

I have heard Michelle’s story, a couple of times, and cried each time. I cried all the way through Esther’s story, too. In part, the tears express my deep hope that I will one day meet those of our sponsored children that I haven’t met, before. It seems unlikely, at this point, but, as Esther and Tom did for so long, I console myself with the assurance that we will all meet before the Throne.

What a beautiful post about your sponsorship and God’s work! Thank you for sharing it. We are just past our first year of sponsoring a little girl and I pray that someday she might have a story to share like this one. I am so humbled and inspired by the work of Compassion.
