You have been such a faithful sponsor to so many children for over 25 years and my heart breaks that you had to make this difficult decision. I know that loans can sometimes be paid off quickly, while others can take some time. I know how deeply you care for these children and we really would love to help you if you think in the next several months, things might quiet down and your situation will have improved enough for you to continue supporting these kiddos.
Would it help you if we covered your support for these specific children (and BOC23) for three months? We would also be happy to reduce your rate for these kiddos to $19 per month per child for six months. I know you're aware of these options that we have for others but I want you to know they're available for you too and we value you and want to help in any way that we can.
Let me know if your in a situation where this would be of help. If not, I understand and I'll make these children available for another sponsor.
Again, I'm praying for you and I just want to encourage you that you're a life changing blessing for each of the children you sacrificially and selflessly love and serve through your sponsorship. Thank you for all that you've done and continue to do for children and to glorify God :).

My parents can't support this child because we have financial issues, as much as we'd like to help. Can you put him back up for sponsorship? Child ID: EC-460-0464

Sadly I have become behind on my payments to my sponsor child. I have been in between jobs and until I can get financially stabled again I will need to pull out. Is there a way to still make up my payments without further paying? This makes me very sad but I hope that I will soon be able to be a blessing to him in the future.

Thank you for all of the options but My husband and I would just like to cancel for now. I am not sure why I have an outstanding balance on my account. It was supposed to be placed on hold while compassion figured everything out with our child's development center. i was told that weither or not we decided to continue sponsoring I would not have to pay for those months that the development center was closed if it did indeed open. Please clear my account and take Afi off. We will continue to keep Afi in our daily prayers and thank you for everything.

I’m very sorry, but I need to stop my sponsorship of Mairelyn (3129799). I’m in my last year of college and making payments for a mission trip this summer; I’m having a really hard time making ends meet and I can’t afford to continue to sponsor right now.

While I would love to say I think I could manage to continue sponsoring at the lower rate, I really don’t think I can. After I finish college, I plan on going to get my Master degree. So, financial security isn’t something I feel like I can claim in the near future.
I’m very sorry, but thank you all for being so understanding and easy to work with. I hope to sponsor again sometime down the road.

As a former girl scout and life-long lover of girl scout cookies, I very much like your profile picture. :)
Also, as you requested, I have made two of your children available for other sponsors. I know that must have been a difficult decision :( and it looks like we have assisted you in the past. Thank you so much for all that you have done for children in poverty over the years! It looks like you have impacted eight children through your sponsorships and letters. What you have done for them will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Please let us know if we can help in any other way.

I have had a significant life event occur and will need to unfortunately cancel my sponsorship. 3544111
Unfortunately a temporary relief won't work in this circumstance, so if you would be so kind as to cancel effective immediately it would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to working with you again when things clear up in my world.
Thanks

I have stopped your automatic donations effective today. Before I make her available for another sponsor, I wanted to make sure you were aware of options we have available for you if this request is due to short term financial difficulties. Compassion would be willing to cover your support for the next three months and also temporarily reduce your rate to $19 for up to 6 months. Please let me know if this would help you out and allow you to maintain your relationship with Kodi.
If not, please let me know and I will make her available for another sponsor. You will be welcome to send her a letter saying goodbye. If you choose to discontinue, we ask that you write the words, 'Final Letter' at the top of your note so that it is processed correctly.

If this is due to short term financial difficulties, we do have options available such as Compassion covering your support for three months and reducing your rate to $19 for up to six months. I do see that her project has been temporarily suspended and the funds are currently being held. We are working hard to resolve this situation and expect an update at the end of this month. I have stopped your automatic withdrawals effective today so that no further support withdrawals. Another option we have would be to wait until the issues with your child's project are resolved and Compassion can cover those months for you and we can resume when the project is able to resume receiving funds. Please let me know if you would be interested in either of these options and I'll update your account. If not, please let me know and I'll make her available for another sponsor.

I am saddened to say that I need to cancel my sponsorship. I understand that you offer special financial plans for some sponsors, but at this time I just need to cancel completely. My sponsor number is 3608296-6 and my child's number is PE-339-0474. Will I receive any type of confirmation after this cancellation process has gone through? Thank you for your help.- Amanda

As Adam mentioned, we would be honored to help you during this time and cover your support through November and then reduce your rate to $19 from December through May. I also noticed that you give extra each month towards our Partners of Compassion Fund. If it would help you, we could completely remove this extra support and that would permanently reduce your rate from $45 each month to the normal $38 for child sponsorship. Please let me know if any or all of these options would help you for a time. Our hope is that it would give you more time to find a job and get back on your feet but not have to stop your relationship with Lyka.
If not however, please let me know and we can make Lyka available for another sponsor. Please rest assured that I have stopped all future donations from pulling from your account until we hear back from you.

Hello, I have started school again and am in a very very tight situation financially and can no longer afford to continue my sponsorship. I am so sorry. This will be going on for about 2 years so I don't think this counts as short term. I might be able to start sponsoring again after a few years, but in the meantime can you tell me how to cancel my sponsorship? Thanks and God bless y'all!!

in Compassion's program while we search for another sponsor for him. Also, you are welcome to write Anderson a goodbye letter. Simply write "Final Letter"
at the top of your letter, along with Anderson's child number. You can send the letter to Compassion's address below (you
cannot send a final letter through the web):

I can certainly help you if you wish to discontinue your support. Before I cancel your account however, I did notice that you sent this inquiry to us via email as well. One of our representatives responded to you offering to help you out with your support for a time if this need is due to financial difficulties. We had not yet received a reply from you so I wanted to make sure our email got to you.
We would be willing to cover your support for the months of March through May and we could also reduce your rate temporarily to $19 for up to six months beginning in June. Please let me know if either or both of these options would help you out! If not, I understand and can make Tesfaye available for another sponsor.

Emily, I have made Yordanos available for another sponsor today as you requested. Thank you so much for the three years that you faithfully supported her and encouraged her through your loving letters. You were a blessing and good luck in college!
Raul, I'm sorry to hear that you need to discontinue your sponsorship of Mou Das :(. May I ask if there is any way that we could have served you better? If this is due to financial difficulties, we would be happy to cover your support for the next three months and even reduce your rate after that to $19 for the next six months. We could also permanently reduce your rate from $45 to $38 by removing your extra giving towards our Highly Vulnerable Children's fund.
Please let me know if any or all of these options would help you maintain your relationship with Mou and I'll update your account. If not, I'll make her available for another sponsor. In the meantime, I have stopped your automatic withdrawal effective today.

Thanks so much for sponsoring Julia! She would love to hear from you when you get a chance to send off a letter too. Hopefully, things are calming down for you as we get to the end of the semester. Each letter really makes a huge difference in building her confidence and offering hope to her in the midst of the challenges of poverty.

I need to cancel my sponsorship due to a loss of my military financial aide and an increase in my college loan debt. I am truly sorry for backing out of my commitment and hopefully in a few years once I graduate and get my finances on track I can again recommit to being a sponsor. My sponsor number is 3504112. Thank you for your help and God bless!

It sounds like you have hopes of this being short term and your finances improving in the next couple of months. We're so excited that you chose to sponsor Andualem and understand that unexpected circumstances happen. I have updated your account today so that your support for him is covered through the end of August. We will not need another donation until September. Please let us know if your situation hasn't changed by then and we can re evaluate your sponsorship and see what else can be done :).
God bless you and thank you so much for continuing to love and support Andualem; he will be excited to get a letter from you!

Erin, I'm sorry that you're struggling but I am so happy for you that you have another job lined up and that hopefully things will pick back up for you again very soon! I pray it's a job you enjoy and that God will bless this new season :). We certainly don't want you to have to end your relationship with Michel either! You have been such a blessing to her for almost three years and we'd love to help you out for a time if you think that this will be short term and you can pick your sponsorship back up in a few months. If we covered your support through the end of November and then reduced your rate to $19 for the months of December through May of 2016, would that help you out? If so, let me know and I'll update your account so that you can keep your sponsorship of Michel :). If not, I understand and we can make her available for another sponsor.

If this is due to financial difficulties, would it help you if Compassion covered your support for the months of September, October, and November? At that time, we could re evaluate your situation and hopefully that will have given you time to get back on your feet and keep your relationship with your child.
Let me know if you're interested in this and I'll update your account :). If not, please let me know and we'll make Rivan available for another sponsor. God bless you!

What I can do for you is keep your automatic withdrawal stopped for the time being. This means that you will begin to receive monthly statements from us. So for the next three months you will not have a balance and then beginning with the statement for the end of November going into December, it will show a balance of $38 for December. At this time, if you're ready to begin your donations again, you can start your automatic withdrawal back up or you can contact us again and we can work with you if you still need some more time or help :).
I have updated your account to be current through the end of November, today.
