Lilian is sponsored by Alex Epler of California, USA.
Alex writes:
For my birthday last December I decided to do something different. I didn't want gifts for myself but instead I chose to sponsor a child through Children International. I knew there are so many kids out there who are less fortunate. I thought if I am going to try and a make a difference I have to start somewhere, so I chose Lilian.
My sponsored child, Lilian Guadalupe Samayoa, is 4 years old
and lives in Guatemala. She is has six brothers and sisters,
Karla (1), Carmen (5), Wendy (8), Rudy (12), Jesus (13), and
Edwin (16). Her father, Jose, is a bricklayer and her mother,
Suyama, is a homemaker. She also sells tortillas, which are
cooked on a small stove in bad condition. Unfortunately the
family income is only $91 a month. They live in a two-room
house and have only four beds for 8 people. Three of the beds
are in very bad condition and they have no dresser in which
to store clothing.
Lilian
loves to play with dolls and sing and dance. She seems to
be a typical little girl. Her family just needs a little bit
of help. Her chores at home include running errands, sweeping,
and washing dishes. Wow – more than I ever did at age
4!
This
means so much to both Lilian and me, so please find it in
your hearts to donate to a needy little girl and her family.
Sincerely,
Alex Epler

In 2005 Children International launched an
online fundraising tool inspired
by Aura's House called SponsorThon. Since then, it has now grown
and evolved into the Lift One Project.
Just $22 a month will help a child get basic medical and dental
care, schooling, clothing, and more. Learn
