Can I just write children?.
My friend has 2 children that are paid for by a large corporation and are not able to write those children. She writes to them as if she is the one financially responsible for them. How do I participate in this type of sponsorship?

I just got two children from Kenya that are sponsored by a large company as well. I wonder if the company will be around long term. Also, will they send b'day gifts or family gifts? I'll do it if I can but I wondered if they only will finance the basics.
Bridgette, we certainly hope that this organization that just sponsored 1000 children from Kenya will sponsor with us for a long time! I am sorry as I regrettably cannot tell you how long they will sponsor. While we cannot control or predict the future, we know the One who does, and we know that He is faithful! :)
Also, this organization has sent only the monthly support at this point. We are asking them to send birthday gifts and Christmas gifts, but there is no way to tell if they will at this point. I would send a gift if you feel led to do so, and if you both send a gift, the child will be doubly blessed!

Now, Eleanor, I know you know the answer to that question because you are a faithful correspondent sponsor! ;) I just added you to the waiting list for another boy and girl correspondent.

How do I get Correspondence children?.
I currently sponsor two children in India. While I'm not able to financially sponsor any more, I would love to add correspondence children to my account, because I love to write letters! How do I go about doing that?

Hi Summer! Thank you so much for your interest in writing encouraging letters to children in need! I have added you to the waiting list for a correspondent child. As soon as a child becomes available for this program, we will send you their packet of information.
Thank you! I can take on probably two or three more if there's a need. :)
Summer, we just assigned one child to you last night. While we don't have any more children currently available for this program, I have added you back to the list for two more children to correspond with as they become available.
We would be delighted to have you write to a child! To start the process, please post here, email ciinfo@us.ci.org, or call us at (800) 336-7676. We assign correspondents for sponsors who do not have the time or desire to write, and as soon as an opening becomes available, we can assign a child to you. At that time, we will send you an information packet for the child, as well as writing instructions.
The requirement to be a correspondent is a commitment to write at least three times a year. In turn, you will receive three letters a year from the child. Our experience has shown that children who receive consistent encouragement tend to set higher goals for themselves. Your role is a very important aspect of our ministry.

Hi! I recently signed up to sponsor a child, and am waiting to get my info packet. In the meantime, I would love to be added to the waiting list to be a correspondent for a child. I'm not sure I'm even in your system yet, so please let me know what information you need from me. Thanks!
Hi Angela! We would love to have you write to a child! Regrettably, I could not locate your record in our system yet. I am sure that your sponsorship is just still being finalized. I'll check back and add you to the correspondent waiting list just as soon as you are in our system. Thank you so much for your willingness to write to and encourage a child in poverty! :)
Angela, it looks like your account was just finalized yesterday. I have added you to the correspondent waiting list for a child to write to. :)
Our Life Group Bible Study would like to correspond with a girl from any where that we can write to. our number is 3547812
Hi Eleanor! I just added your Life Group to the correspondent waiting list for a girl to write to.
Thank you
I had a corespodent child, but whoever was sponsoring quit and I could not aford to sponsor her. May I apply for another one?
Addyson, I'm sorry about this situation and that you're no longer able to write to your kiddo :(. But thank you for the difference you made in her life during the time you were her correspondent. You were such a faithful letter writer, you don't even have to apply! I will just go ahead and add you to the waiting list for another correspondent child to be assigned to you at the next available opportunity. God bless!

I would like to have a Correspondence child.
I have spoken to Wendy Jager who sponsor`s a child and also she writes letters to other children in need of correspondence. My name is Lana Ottinger we sponsor Ishwarya Ravi IN5290153. I would be willing to write to a child any where that child may live at any age or gender. Wendy stated for me to write and request that I have the time and desire to write. My husband and I have sponsored and wrote letters to Ishwarya for six years. I have been a Pediatric nurse since 1969 and truly want to make another child smile that they receive a letter. I do not want to sponsor another child but am willing to write. Thank you. Lana Ottinger lanajottinger@ gmail.com

Hi Lana! It sounds like you really have a heart for children! That's wonderful! I just added you to the waiting list for a child to write to. As soon as a child becomes available for this program, we will send you their packet. :)
Susan, I just got my first correspondent chiold show up on my account, I'm so excited! Please add me back on the list for 2 more. I love writing to them and putting together little paper packages. I have no current preference for gender of location.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Awesome! I just added you back to the list for two more children, Lindsay. :)
I just want to know if I was added to the list for the four children that I loss for correspondence the letter said I would be.
Good morning, Eleanor! Please rest assured that you were placed on the waiting list for a new child as the letter mentioned. However, I added you back to the waiting list for an additional three children so that you receive four new children at the next available opportunities.
Could you add me for 5 more correspondent children? I don't care where they're from. :)
Hi Summer! As you requested, I just added you to the list to write to five more children. Thank you so much for your commitment to loving and encouraging children in need!
Dear Susan
Could you add me on the list again for a few more children (4 or so) I would also very much like one from the Red Light District in India. Deborah Eklund #3343360.

Hi Deb! I just added you to the list for four children from anywhere and one from a Red Light District in India.
Hi Susan,
I received a new correspondent young man (too old to be a boy!) form Ethiopia in April but still have not received his photo / intro packet... I wasn't sure how long it usually took to get that but I thought maybe I should check in. I have the packets on my other kids, and have gotten the updates regularly so it's just Moyata who is missing. He has his own spot waiting for the photo when I get it.
Thanks,
Andrea

Andrea, I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't get the introduction packet for this young man! I just ordered you another one.
Thanks for your help! While I've got you on photo duty... could I get electronic copies of all my kids' photos? I find it much easier to use the electronic copies.
Haha! No problem! I just sent you all of your kids photos via email.
Thank you Susan!

Hi David! I'd be happy to add you to the waiting list, but regrettably I was unable to locate your account from your name and email address. If you are a current sponsor, please post one of your child ID numbers here or email your contact information to socialmedia@compassion.com so that I can setup an account for you.
Thanks Susan. This is a child I sponsor in Guatemala GU9181216
I appreciate your help!
I appreciate your help!
Hi David! Thank you so much for this information. I found your families account and have added you to the waiting list to correspond with a child from either Thailand or the Philippines. Once a child becomes available, we will mail you information and add the child to your account. Please let me know if I can help you further!
Thanks Emily! I am excited. I so appreciate your help.

Please add me to the correspondent waiting list.
I emailed Compassion a few days ago about being added to the waiting list but still have not heard back (am I supposed to be informed that I have been added?). Could I please be added to receive a boy or a girl under the age of 12 from any country? Thank you!

Hello Alicia! :) I am sorry that you never received a response when you emailed us. As requested, I have added you to the waiting list today! When a child under 12 becomes available, we will add that child to your account. Thank you so much for your faithful letter writing to your current children already!
Thank you!! :)

How do I become a correspondent to a child?.
I have been a sponsor for about 2 months and just became an advocate but I would love to do more. I can't afford to sponsor another child but I herd from a friend about the option of becoming a correspondent but I can't find anything on the compassion's website on how to become one.

Hi Audrey-Grace! Thank you so much for your willingness to write to and encourage children in need! This ministry is an important part of our program! I just added you to the waiting list for a correspondent child. As soon as a child becomes available for this program, we will send you their packet of information. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or if you have any preferences on age, gender, or area that the child is from.
Hello! How many kids am I on the waiting list for? I know I was on initially for 2 or 3, but as soon as one was added they were taken off and I was back at the end of the waiting list. I was wondering if that child counted as one of them? Thank you! I just had another child today added :)
Hi Abby! I am sorry for any confusion that situation may have caused you. Because the child that we added to your account was removed very quickly after being linked to you, we worked hard to find another child for you as soon as possible. The child that you received yesterday did not count against the children you requested on the waiting list. I just checked the list and you are still currently on list for 1 more correspondent child :).
Thank you very much!
I would like a correspondent child! Thank you!
Mandy, you're such a wonderful letter writer to the two children you currently have. I would be delighted to add you to our waiting list for another child to encourage through letters! You're on the list and we'll assign you a child at the next available opportunity.
Life group Bible Study would like a correspondent child we would like a girl from any where and any age our number is 3547812-2
Hi Eleanor! I just added your Life Group to the correspondent waiting list for a girl to write to.
Hi! I would like to increase the number of children I write to. Please could you add me to the list to write to three more children - any countries, any gender, any age.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Hi Ceri! Sure thing! I must added you to the waiting list for three more children to write to. :)
Hi ladies! Can you please put me back on the correspondent list for 3 more little girls from Honduras, under 12 if possible! Thank you so much!
Hi Raechel! I hope you're having a great week :). I added you to the correspondent waiting list today.
Thanks Emily! Any idea of where I am on the waiting list?
Good morning, Raechel! Your requests are numbers 121, 122, and 123, out of 183 total requests.
Hello! I have another question. I was notified that two of my kids were no longer able to be written to and that there would be a "replacement" later on. I would actually not like to be put back on the list for a replacement as my schooling is getting super busy right now and I am content with the other 6 children. Thank you :)
