ChildLine proves to be a lifeline. Many families have been hard hit
by the financial impact of COVID. Our “family” at UAOCF has too. We know some of our donors have struggled. That’s why we’re so moved by the response we receive to every edition of ChildLine, even during the pandemic: you learn about our children, and you want to help. Those little yellow envelopes keep our work going. Thank you for allowing us to make sure that at this most trying time, our children have food to eat, a safe place to live, and the best education we can give them! We deeply appreciate your support!

We want to share the story of Shallon K. She is so eloquent in the letter she wrote her UAOCF sponsor! Nothing we can say can top her own words. She wrote: “At the age of 7 I lost my parents. As a double orphan, without both parents, life became very miserable. I was like, God, where will I go? I looked around, the eyes could not see any light.” Imagine, just seven years old and living with such grief and pain! Shallon’s grandmother took her and her siblings in. Shallondescribes where they lived as “almost a collapsing house.”

The situation was desperate. That is, until a loving UAOCF sponsor changed everything! When she heard the news, Shallon “could not hide my joy and happiness…The new term opened and I was taken to a good school. I enjoyed all the best at school, completed primary level, and again was given a chance to be in the best
(secondary) girls schools.” Reading her letter, she seems almost unable to believe her luck. Thanks to UAOCF –thanks to you – she went from desperate and destitute to well cared for and full of hope!
