Your sponsored child receives so much from your sponsorship, including special items for their birthday month and the holiday season. While it isn’t necessary to send additional monetary gifts, many sponsors find it very meaningful to do so, sharing such joy with their child.
When you make an “Extra Gift,” great effort goes into finding the most helpful and treasured items – and your sponsored child and their family know it’s from you. Gifts over $100 will include a photo and thank you. You can find more about “Extra Gifts” in the “My Giving” section of your “MyCI”– just look for the card.
Sponsors who write letters to their children are among our most dedicated supporters. We’re thankful for your passion and your generosity!
During the pandemic, we discovered that digital communication allows children and families to read and respond to letters on their own time, without a staff member visiting them or the family traveling to their community center. They’ve shared that they prefer this method of communication because it’s generally more convenient for them and their busy lives. So, we are asking sponsors to use our online writing tool to communicate with their children.
If you have any questions or need assistance setting up an online account so that you can send letters, cards and photos digitally, please contact us at 800-888-3089. A member of our Care Team will be happy to assist you.
