Estapha Louisimon


Bonswa,

As of today, I now support this little five year old Haitian girl named Estapha. We share the same birthday and I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to celebrating future birthdays with her in mind.

Over Christmas, I decided to support a child in Haiti. For a while (up until this afternoon actually), I couldn't decided whether to go through World Vision or Compassion International or one of the many other ones. I got on WV and Com's websites today and after I did a search of Haitian children and birthdays, her picture came up. I decided that she was the one I would support (at least for right now, hopefully more in the future).

I'm encouraged to continue this after reading some of the accounts of people involved in this type of program, supporters and supported. I hope that I can continue to do this for many many years and that she and her family will be blessed through this organization.

Those of you who support a child or children yourself or are involved in Operation Christmas Child or one of the many many other organizations dedicated to helping poor and needy children all over the world, you know what feeling I'm talking about. For those of you who aren't involved in something like this, please try it out at least once. Hopefully, you will find yourself changed for the better and continue to stay involved.

Please continue to pray for the people of Haiti. There is still suffering there, but there is hope.

Robert
