I sponsored a child three years ago expecting to change one life. Instead, the letters, the report cards and the photos of her smiling — they changed mine.

I came to drop off a donation and found a family, not an institution. You feel the love the moment you walk through the gate.

I grew up in this home. Today I’m in my second year at university. Everything I am, I owe to people who gave when they didn’t have to.

As an accountant I don’t give lightly. Their books are open and every naira is accounted for — that’s exactly why I give each month.

Our church has partnered with Bales of Mercy for years. I have never seen children more loved, or more truly seen.
