Be an Angel and Change the World

"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin."

Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
Catholic nun, Nobel Peace Prize winner


There are many facets to every person. You might be surprised to learn that I sponsor two children through Children International, a boy in India and a girl in Columbia, and prior to that, I sponsored a girl in Columbia until she turned nineteen and was old enough to leave the program.


There is not always a way to make a difference in the world. There is not always hope, but if you find a way, I urge you to make a difference, no matter how small. Touch the life of someone who needs help. Be an angel. Change the world for the better a little bit at a time.


Thank you for visiting my Lift One Project page. With this webpage I hope to accomplish big things, life-changing things.


I want to introduce you to an organization and a solution that addresses a cause that is very important to me: child poverty.


Children International has been around since 1936, and now assists over 300,000 children in 11 countries. They connect very poor children to caring sponsors. I am proud to be a sponsor myself and I’m asking you to learn more about sponsorship and hopefully become a sponsor to a child in need.


My sponsored child receives free health care and medicine when they get sick, has access to a dentist and receives benefits like the clothing, shoes and supplies necessary to go to school. Because of sponsorship, children have a place to turn to and real hope for the future. The amazing Children International staff and volunteers in my sponsored child’s community are committed to turning disadvantaged children into healthy, educated, self-reliant adults.

One to One Sponsorship Solution

The United Nations estimates that over three billion people live on less than two dollars a day! Poverty is humiliating and robs individuals of power and options. Without significant help, there’s simply no way to break the cycle of poverty -- sponsorship gives children resources lifting the obstacles that stand in the way.

One to one sponsorship through Children International breaks it down to that critical individual level, a level where you can see results and bear witness to amazing change.

Be sure to watch the video on the right-hand side of the screen and read “The Benefits of Sponsorship” to learn more about this terrific organization.

Now is the Time

I trust Children International to use my money wisely. In fact, eight out of every ten dollars raised goes to programs and services that directly help children. $22 per month (approximately 73 cents a day) can make a huge difference in a poor child’s life.

Giving a poor child the tools necessary to lift themselves out of poverty is a great gift and you have the power to make it happen. Push the “Lift One” button and begin searching for your sponsored child. It is truly an amazing and satisfying journey.
