The Home updated the sponsors like me on the children's status and use of funds through newsletter regularly. I also joined the sponsor's function which, letting me know more about the children and their living, gained my trust to support the Home continuously.
Watching the cartoon "Daddy Long Legs" when I was a child, I fantasized about being Daddy Long Legs to help the needy. Now as a father of two, I wanted to set a role model for my children that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
I support the Scheme due to the Home’s good track record in helping needy children. The Home’s transparency on the usage of donation also earns my trust as the audited report and donor report are accessible on its website.
I joined the Scheme as a double blessing to my two-year-old son and the Home’s children. I have never stopped donating to the Home for 15 years, and volunteered to the flag day with my daughter this year!
I was sacked and my father fell ill in the pandemic. Yet I learned to cope with my moods by going outdoor and practicing sound therapy. I had never thought of cutting the sponsorship as I believed to give was not a matter of how much we had.
My daughter was born in 2010, when I decided to join the Scheme to share my love and blessing with the Home’s children. Noting that they grew up in a caring environment through the Scheme, I truly wish they can live a life of fullness in future.
I started donating to the Home in 2013, and became a sponsor two years ago when I got financially more stable. Quitting junior high school due to family burden, I hope my contribution will give the children more opportunities to learn.
After supporting needy children abroad for over 10 years, I realized that the underprivileged in Hong Kong is no less important, especially children. So I signed up as the Home’s sponsor when I know my small yet regular donation can benefit each of the Home’s children. Last year I even made a 3D Christmas card to give them festive surprise!
