| We recognize that as the Christmas season kicks into full gear, opportunities for you to make an impact are plentiful. But we’d love for you to consider giving an orphan a gift! Our Orphan Wish Lists have been a mainstay of our ministry since its earliest days, its focus being to communicate to orphaned children that they are seen and loved in effective and simple ways. But what makes the Orphan Wish List unique? And why should you consider partnering with us this Christmas and beyond? For an orphan, a gift signifies hope. Have you ever received a gift that was so specific to you and your taste that it made you feel known? Did it fill your heart with a sense of warmth, this simple, material thing causing you to feel seen? For a child who is well-acquainted with loneliness, abandonment, and rejection, receiving a gift on Christmas or their birthday assures them that not only are their basic needs being consistently met, but their interests, talents, and dreams are also noticed. To see themselves reflected in a unique gift contributes to the healing process of believing that they are beloved and valued. When you give to Orphan Wish List, you enhance the attachment between caregiver and child. The caregivers we partner with are the key to our ministry to orphans around the world. They are the ones who provide comfort, food, a safe environment, and more on a daily basis. This daily work creates opportunities for children to heal and securely attach to their caregivers. Because of all of this, they know their children. They know what will make them smile and feel seen and loved better than anyone. When you give to Orphan Wish List this Christmas, you empower our partners with the resources they need to hand-select a gift for each child in their care. This promotes attachment by reinforcing to the children that they can depend on their caregivers to extend love and provision to them in a myriad of ways. It also offers dignity to our partners in the midst of their faithful, but often overlooked, work of showing Christ’s endless love to orphans. Your generosity ensures that every child is covered, not just one. One of the core parts of our model is whole home sponsorship. The monthly support we receive from our dedicated community ensures that every child in our partner homes has his or her basic needs met at all times. Orphan Wish List operates in the same way! When you give, you can be assured that each and every child in our partner homes will be covered equally. No one child will be left without a gift this Christmas. Orphan Wish Lists go beyond just Christmas. In over 25 years of ministry to orphans, we have seen that there are several needs a child has that go beyond the basics. As you’ve read, a simple Christmas gift can leave a life-long impact on a child who has experienced trauma. But your impact through giving to Orphan Wish Lists extends beyond Christmas. Orphan Wish Lists cover all of the following items for every child in our partner homes: Birthday and Christmas gifts School supplies Textbooks School uniforms Simple items many of us may take for granted, such as a backpack or school shoes, empower a child with dignity and confidence as she steps out into the world. It alleviates feelings of lack or shame, allowing for her to focus her energy on reaching her God-given potential. Also, because of the variety of items it provides, our Orphan Wish List fund makes a difference in the lives of orphans all year round! This year, as you pray about where God may be leading you to allocate the resources He has given you, we pray you will consider investing in an Orphan Wish List. You can be confident that when you give, you will: Communicate to orphaned children that they are valued. Offer dignity to our partners. Promote healthy attachment between child and caregiver.
