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."

Sponsors Monserrat in Mexico & Fabian in Cuba

"It is my joy to start every day at my desk, looking at my little girl’s picture and praying for her. The letters we send one another are so important to me as I’ve watched our relationship grow. It thrills me to learn that reading her Bible and singing in church are her favorite activities. Sponsoring her is one of God’s many blessings in my life."

Nicholas Robinson
Sponsors Simon in Uganda

"I really respect Forward Edge for seeking to meet the emotional, relational, and spiritual needs of those in poverty, not just their physical needs. I prayerfully decided that sponsoring a child with Forward Edge was a simple way to give back with more than just finances. I anticipate how the Lord can challenge and grow my personal faith through this relationship."

Miredita (hello), my name is Theo

  • location

    Kosova

  • 15 yrs. old

    09-21-2009

Entered the program: September 2023

Theo lives with his mother and sister in a one-bedroom apartment that they own. The family lived for many years in a rented apartment but the owner was always threatening to evict them as they couldn’t pay the rent regularly. Theo’s uncles and some cousins gathered enough money together to buy them the apartment they’re in now. Theo’s mom sleeps in the kitchen and he and his sister share the bedroom.

Theo's parents are divorced. His dad visits sometimes and tries to bring food to help out. Theo’s mom tries to make some money sewing traditional clothing in the summer when there are tourists. She receives government assistance but it doesn’t even cover the utilities; her siblings try to help with money for food and firewood, and hand-me-down clothes for Theo and his sister.

Theo's sister, Leona, is also in the Corner Stone program.
