Grandmas for Jesus
"Grandmas for Jesus" offers dignity and security to older widows living in poverty, in dangerous conditions, and with poor health care. These women are forgotten. They are often the care takers for their grandchildren, whose parents are working or have disappeared. Though barely able to care for themselves, they're called on to provide food, shelter and, if possible, an education for their orphaned grandchildren. Your sponsorship provides monthly financial support, assistance with medical care, ChristAid pastoral support, and caring community to the Grandmas.
As a Grandma sponsor, you show love to your Grandma and you make a difference in the lives of all those who rely on her. Grandmas gather together monthly for worship, testimonies, and encouragement. Those gatherings provide the needed emotional and spiritual support the Grandmas need to continue with their care-taking responsibilities.
What is the cost of sponsorship?
Just $40 per month can change the entire outlook on life for a Grandma. She will have assistance with medical care, fresh milk or other necessary food items, and a small monthly stipend. She can participate in group fellowship with other women in the program.
“I am now growing old and if it wasn’t for your love and care I wouldn’t be alive today. You have made me a joyous Grandma.”
