What Does My Sponsorship Provide?

Your sponsorship helps provide for your child’s physical, educational and spiritual needs. These needs are met differently depending on the community your child is in, but include things like: nutritious meals, safe drinking water, health care, school tuition, tutoring, bible training and spiritual mentorship.

"When we heard about Forward Edge we didn’t hesitate to sponsor a child. I love that my children can see us serving the Lord with the money He has entrusted to us. I love the opportunity to correspond with our child and hope to one day further serve her and her community by serving on a missions trip to her village."

Hola (hello), my name is Livia

  • location

    Mexico

  • 9 yrs. old

    11-04-2016

Entered the Program: February 2025

Livia lives with her parents, older brother, Onésimo (also in the program), and great aunt in her great aunt’s home. The home is a two-bedroom adobe house with a tin roof and concrete and dirt floors. The kitchen is in a separate room from the house and the bathroom is outside. They cook with wood and get water from a hose on the property. Their home is right next door to the church. Livia and her brother started coming to Saturday Bible Club and then showed interest in attending church services; they haven’t missed a day since.

Livia’s parents are both from the community; they’ve been married for 19 years. Her mother and father both work farming and her dad also builds wood stoves. The family struggles financially because they have two older daughters in high school that they need to support in boarding school during the week. They own a piece of property but cannot afford a house.
