Sending Gifts to Your Sponsored Individual

It was exceptionally kind of many sponsors to send a special gift for your sponsored individual at Christmas, Easter, birthdays, or simply for family support. We are deeply grateful for your generosity. Dr. Geetha, myself, and our dedicated FCN staff in India tried our best to purchase gifts which are needed by your sponsored individual. We have been very happy to provide this service through December of 2005. It has been our pleasure to respond to these gifts with personal notes, thank you letters, and photos from your sponsored individual to their sponsors.

FCN currently sponsors over eleven hundred through our sponsorship program. Sponsorship is an incredible blessing for each of the children, college students and seniors as well as their families. Unfortunately, while several of them were benefiting from your generous “extra” gifts, many did not receive any additional gifts during the year. Since the gifts you have provided to your sponsored individual went directly to that individual, not every person received the same amount for a gift. As you can imagine, this caused an inequitable situation as well as practical difficulties in distributing the gifts. In addition, we also care for many children and seniors who do not yet enjoy the benefit of having a sponsor. Therefore, some of the sponsored individuals received much while others received little or nothing extra.

In order to address this situation, we are humbly requesting that all sponsors provide a gift of $ 20 to $ 50 or more which will be directed to a GIFT FUND. In the month of November of every year, all our sponsored individuals will receive Christmas gifts. Having the ability to do this will alleviate many difficulties for us. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to your continued support.

You are welcome to send your donation for Gift Fund throughout the year. This will allow us to purchase and distribute the gifts to the sponsored individuals in a timely manner. Since our sponsored individuals are spread out over quite a large geographical area, we require sufficient time to reach them all.

We deeply appreciate your understanding in our efforts to better serve our needy through FCN. Our hearts are filled with much gratitude for your continued support and generosity. Please know that we and those you sponsor pray for you daily.
