Child and Family Sponsorship
Child and Family Sponsorship allows you, as a sponsor, a relationship with the entire house, not just one child. And for our children, they ALL are sponsored. No matter how long they are with us, each of them knows that thousands of miles away, they have someone who cares for them and prays for them. For some of our children, life at Casa Bernabé is brief, as their biological families just need a little time to better equip themselves for caring for their child. As a whole, the country of Guatemala is placing a priority on family reunification, recognizing that institutionalizing children is not in the child's best interest, nor is it a long term solution. For some of our children, reunification isn't a possibility and they will be with us for a longer period of time.
This program allows each of our children an opportunity at sponsorship, no matter how long they are with us. It allows you, as a sponsor, to welcome the new kid with a note of encouragement, and uphold them in prayer. For our children who are with us for a longer period of time, there is the chance to build a relationship with someone who is caring for them thousands of miles away.
Built holistically, this program also gives you an opportunity to come alongside our house parents, helping to bless the house as a whole, being responsive to needs as well as the “fun things” like special outings and birthday parties. This program gives you an opportunity to get to know a little bit more about the amazing couples that are following a calling from God and doing the hard work of caring for our kids "on the front lines."
As a sponsor, you will receive:
An annual prayer card with an updated picture of the children in the house you sponsor, along with their names and birthdays
Exclusive email updates with specific prayer requests and needs from the house you support
Personal stories of children whose identities we must protect but whose journeys we can share with our closest supporters
Written or recorded interviews with house parents, allowing you to get to know those who provide daily love and care for these children
Meet the Families
Like any household, the character of the house is influenced by a variety of factors, including parenting styles and the interests and personalities of both the parents and the kids. Click on the photos below to learn more about each house or to sign up to sponsor a specific house.
