I said this when I began sponsoring Bianca. Now I say it as I say good-bye to her. Her family has moved and CI is unable to locate them. I hope wherever they are, they're doing well and their move will afford them better opportunities. I'll miss her.
I do have some letters from her to share:
However, I do have two new girls to introduce to everyone!
Grace Sabrina was sent to me as Bianca's "replacement" child. I was undecided as to whether or not I would sponsor her, when someone else saw her picture, fell in love and made the decision for me! She'll remain on my account for simplicity's sake but will be sponsored and written to by her real sponsor, Jenna.
Don't you love that sweater?!
Grace is seven and lives in Ecuador, like Bianca, though in a different area. She lives with her older sister Nayeli and their father, who works as a messenger. Their mother is not present. If I'm financially able I'm hoping to contact CI about sponsoring her sister the next time I'm looking to sponsor another child. It must be hard raising two little girls on your own!
And because I couldn't resist adding another kid to my account, meet Nayeli Francisca:
Nayeli is nine and lives in Chile. I was planning on adding another Ecuadoran child (possibly Grace's sister), but when I saw this face on the site I couldn't resist. Look at that smile! Nayeli lives with her two brothers, six-year-old Francisco and twenty-one-year-old Luis, and their parents.
Nayeli's photos from 2009 and 2010:
