They Gave Away our Children

Another wallet woe - this summer my stolen wallet required canceling all of our accounts, credit cards, and changing all our automatic payments. I thought I had changed everything, but found out last week that I missed changing our information with World Vision. I had called to see why we weren’t receiving our tax information and found out that our accounts had been canceled. (I have sponsored Franz Junior for 10 years and Tim has sponsored a child from Ethiopia for almost that long.) The woman was very helpful and tried to locate our children to see if we could restart our sponsorship with them, but said that both children were released from the program. I was shocked - I didn’t get any notice or warning that my children were in danger of being let go. I had just gotten a christmas card from my child and was thinking it was time for me to write him a letter. I felt pretty bad. I am hoping that since the boys were getting older, they were about to be released from the program anyway…but I would have liked to say good-bye or something instead of just stopping payment without really knowing it.

On a positive note, we were able to start the sponsorship of an entire family (3 children and 2 adults). We just got our packet of information and it seems like it will be a great partnership. World Vision is always looking for new sponsors, and I would highly recommend it. Take a look and see what you think.
