Dear John,
We’re working to give children with disabilities a life of dignity.
Born with developmental disabilities and paralysis of his lower limbs,
Jacob’s parents abandoned him as a baby. He has lived with his
grandmother ever since. Jacob’s education has been very limited because
of his special needs, yet he has a special talent in fixing things.
Recently, he built a solar panel to power his own radio, made from torn
shoes and other broken electrical parts. Can you imagine?
By expanding Jacob’s skills, this talented young man is brimming with
the potential to become self-sufficient and also to take care of his
80-year-old grandmother. We are thrilled that a CMMB supporter recently
provided him with the transformational opportunity to pursue education
at a local vocational training college. Their generosity means Jacob’s
future is forever changed, and he will be better equipped to live out a
life full of dignity.
We need your support to help more children with disabilities pursue their dream of attending school.
In Kenya, Grace suffered a stroke at age eight. Five-year-old Megina in
Haiti was born without arms. These are just two examples of determined
girls we work with who just want the opportunity to realize their dream
of going to school.
The gift of education is just one way you can help vulnerable children and families. Look through
our online Gift Catalog – there are opportunities for every budget.
You can be the reason someone like Jacob rises out of poverty and begins living a life of dignity,
today.
