**OLHA REQUIRES BOTH REGULAR AND MEDICAL SPONSORSHIP**
Dear Sponsor,
Hello! My name is Olha, and I am 11 years old. I live with my mom and my two sisters, Tania and Veronika, and I am in the 5th grade.
I love singing, so music is my favorite subject in school. I also enjoy playing volleyball and have been playing for about two years. In my free time, I like spending time with my friends and sisters, going for walks, and practicing volleyball. At home, I help my mom by making my bed, washing dishes, and doing other small chores.
One of the most important parts of my life is attending Choose Life Church, where I learn about God’s love and grow in my faith. I am very grateful for all the blessings He has given me.
Thank you so much for choosing to support me and my family. Your kindness means a lot to us and reminds us that God cares for us through people like you. I would love to learn more about you and would be very happy to receive a letter from you and write back.
Thank you for thinking of me and my family. May the Lord bless you for your generosity and care.
With love,
Olha
Caseworker’s Comments:
Olha is an extraordinary 11-year-old girl whose kindness, perseverance, and joyful spirit shine through despite the many challenges she faces. Currently in the 5th grade, Olha is known as a diligent student who is attentive, honest, friendly, and easy to befriend. She loves learning, especially music and mathematics, and enjoys singing, playing volleyball, and spending time with friends. At home, she willingly helps her mother by making beds, washing dishes, and assisting with everyday chores. Olha has a warm and welcoming personality that naturally draws people to her, and she approaches life with gratitude and hope.
One of the most significant challenges Olha faces is her health. She was born with strabismus and mandibular prognathism (macrognathia), conditions that require ongoing medical treatment and specialized care. Because of these needs, Olha would greatly benefit from Medical Sponsorship to help her receive the treatment she urgently requires. Yet despite these obstacles, Olha remains active, cheerful, and engaged in both school and church life. She refuses to let her circumstances define her and continues to embrace life with determination and courage.
Faith has become a source of strength and encouragement for Olha and her family. About three years ago, she attended a children’s camp organized by Choose Life Church, where she was first introduced to a Christian environment. The experience had a profound impact on her. Since then, Olha has faithfully attended church services and youth gatherings, growing in her understanding of God’s love and developing meaningful friendships within the church community. Her mother and sisters now attend with her, and the church has become an important source of support and hope for the entire family.
Olha lives with her mother and two sisters in a small rented dormitory room. The space is crowded, with beds occupying most of the room, and the kitchen and washroom facilities are shared with other residents. While the family does their best to keep their home welcoming, their living conditions remain extremely modest. The furniture is old, space is limited, and privacy is almost nonexistent.
Olha’s mother, Olena, is raising all three daughters on her own. Her journey has been filled with hardship. Today, she faces significant health challenges that limit her ability to work and provide for her family. The family’s income consists mainly of social assistance and low-income support benefits, much of which is spent on rent and utilities. After those essential expenses are paid, very little remains for food, clothing, school supplies, medical needs, or other necessities.
The family’s struggles have been so severe that they previously accumulated rental debt they could not repay on their own. The Choose Life Church stepped in to help cover those expenses and prevent a deeper crisis. While this support was a tremendous blessing, it highlights just how fragile the family’s financial situation remains. Despite these challenges, Olena continues fighting for her daughters, determined to give them every opportunity possible.
What makes Olha’s story so inspiring is that hardship has not diminished her spirit. She continues to work hard in school, participate in church activities, care for her family, and dream about her future. She is a child filled with potential who simply needs support, encouragement, and opportunities to grow.
By sponsoring Olha, you can become a meaningful part of her journey. Your support would help provide essentials such as food, clothing, school supplies, and medical care while reducing the tremendous burden carried by her mother. Just as importantly, your sponsorship would encourage Olha’s spiritual, emotional, and personal development, reminding her that she is loved, valued, and never forgotten.
We believe God has a beautiful plan for Olha’s life. Through sponsorship, you can help provide hope, stability, and opportunity to a young girl who is striving to overcome difficult circumstances with faith and determination. Your support can make a lasting difference not only in Olha’s life but in the lives of her entire family, demonstrating Christ’s love in a practical and life-changing way.
