A new part of our family
I just wanted to tell everyone about the proud, heart-filling evening I’m having. We decided to sponsor a little girl in Africa today. I feel like I’ve added someone new to my family. I don’t know much about her yet, only that her name is Rachidatou Baga, her birthday is the same as mine (that’s not why I picked her, although it did make the decision easier), and she lives in
Burkina Faso (which up until today I didn’t know was a country in Africa).
I know to some of you it may not seem like a huge deal, but my grandparents always had a child sponsor and I remember reading their letters and thinking “one day I will sponsor a child and make a difference”. That day has come for me and it’s a HUGE milestone in my life. I got all choked up when I hit the “send” button on the website.
Welcome to our family, Rachidatou!! We love you already.
