Giving Back - Compassion International

Grayscale Homes is committed to donating 5% of its monthly profit to the amazing organization Compassion International. 

Compassion International is a Christian based not-for-profit organization helping children in poverty all around the world. This organization is special for many reasons. First and foremost, they are child focused. "When a child is registered in our program the beneficiary of the support is the specific sponsored child.” What does this mean? Our donation, your donation, goes to a specific child, with a name, a face, a face you can actually see and not simply the organization as a whole. Why is this so special? This allows for that child to experience a personal connection and commitment with their sponsor through hand written letters, photos, birthday gifts and more! For many of these children sponsorship is all they have, their only hope for a future and the first time they feel personally seen and thought of. 

Here are some of the many things our donation provides these children: 

• medical checkups and health care.
• health and hygiene training.
• ongoing Christian training through a local church.
• educational assistance, including textbooks, school uniforms, post-secondary courses, tutoring, test and lab supplies and even literacy and financial training for caregivers.
• key life skills training, mentoring and vocational programs.
• nutritious food and supplements to protect against malnutrition.
• recreational activities and support to develop self-confidence and social skills.
• protection from crime, violence and danger.
• access to special services like surgeries and disaster relief.

If this isn’t enough to compel you to sponsor a child today for JUST $38 a month (I spend more on coffee in a month) than maybe you should take a look at the thousands of faces STILL WAITING for someone to say yes to them. 

Compassion’s structure and core values is what finally made me feel like I was actually making a difference in someone's life. I have always LOVED children, their innocence and their optimism, they deserve and are entitled to love, equal opportunity and a chance! Sadly, this is not the case for these children and Compassion International is making it possible for people like you and me to do something about that. My household has sponsored four beautiful children for the last couple of years and it's the most rewarding money I have ever spent and will continue to spend personally and through Grayscale Homes.

Thank you for helping us support this amazing organization by supporting our business!
