I added another kiddo late Friday and they are not on yet. Last time I did that on a weekend they showed up the mext business day(fir me-tomorrow I hope)
His name is Wilson Antonio Leiva Trochez from Honduras. I did not get his number in the thank you email. Can I call Friday also if he doesnt show up?????

I did find him, Theresa. I can see online that he is in process of being sponsored, so I would still encourage you to give it a little more time to be processed. This new system transition caused a slowdown in new sponsorships being created that were done online. You can absolutely call, but I'd be happy to check for you through this forum again on Friday if you still don't see him. It's easier for our social media team to do the deep digging than the phone reps since we have more time to do it :).
Any news yet? Sorry to bother, it is just such a long way until Monday!!! LOL.... actually I want to sponsor another kiddo I saw, but really dont want to get him lost in the transition mix ;0/ Thanks again sooooo much!!!!!

Theresa, I completely understand your eagerness to begin your sponsorship of sweet Wilson! We appreciate your patience and understanding as we are going through a complete system transition. As Sarah said before, this system transition is definitely causing a delay in processing new sponsorships. I'm so sorry for this longer than normal wait, but please rest assured that Wilson is on hold specifically for you until this sponsorship can be processed. Because you have received the confirmation (thank you) email, I can confirm that Wilson is indeed your boy :). It's just a matter of time now! Thank you for your continued patience :).
thank you!!!!
thank you, thank you, thank you! I found Wilson!!! I am overjoyed to see his wonderful cute as a button face! May I ask one more favor please? I do not have jpegs of any of the kiddos, but I would love one of Danny Joel Toapanta Pujota (EC047800947). A little david fighting a giant like cancer shold not be fuzzy :0) ( is it inappropriate to ask what type of cancer it is? I know some are almost always curable and some just the opposite.) I appreciate it and thank you again so very much!!!!!
this is Wilson!!!!!!!!!!
this is Wilson!!!!!!!!!!(Edited)
Theresa, this breaks my heart. :( I am sending you his photo via email now. Thank you for loving and uplifting this little guy!
thank you so much!!!

Hi Eleanor and Emily! With our ministry literally transitioning from our old system to the new system in the last few days, it will most likely take a little extra time for these new kids to show up for you. If you haven't seen them show up by Friday, let me know. I'd be happy to look into it for you then!
Thank you, Sarah. No problem at all. That's what I figured!
Thank you Sarah I was told on the phone today that I never sponsor her they said it would take another 3 weeks. I sponsor her almost two weeks ago. So if you can get her on my account I will be happy. Pimvipha Apaiklang TH9320115. Just like to know if I can write to her now.

Eleanor, thank you so much for giving me her child number! As soon as I am able to get into the live system, I will take care of making sure she gets on your account :).
Little Maria from Brazil still has not shown up on my account. I have the confirmation e-mail from when I sponsored her, but I do not have her child number. Her name is Maria Clara Borges De Carvalho. I believe she was in BR471. Thanks!! :)
Christina, Employee
Hi Emily! I'm so sorry that you are still not seeing your sweet Maria Clara on your account :(. Please rest assured that Maria is definitely your child because you have received your confirmation email. Now, it is just a matter of time before you see your precious girl on your account :). I'm so sorry for the delays our system transition is causing, and we thank you so much for your grace and patience.
I signed up to Sponsor 2 children that I'm almost positive are brothers on Feb 17th at an event. For some reason I never got a confirmation email, they are not on my account, and I can't search through the system to find them! :( Can someone help me find them? They are from Brazil. Keven (BR5500350) and Samuel (BR5500349).

Hi Ella! Did you sign up to sponsor both of these boys online? If you did and you didn't get a confirmation email after you submitted the sponsorship request, that means it didn't go through :(.
No, I signed up at an event. I was waiting for the initial amount to go through my bank account. I saw it there one day, but it's not there anymore. :/ I can't even find them in the database to see if maybe I need to do it online.

Hi Ella! Do you happen to have the child packets still? Also, what event was this through? Was it possibly called Generals Week 50? Also, what is the exact name that you put on the sheet at the event that we would be able to find your account under? I am so sorry for all the confusion!
Yes, I do still have the packets thankfully. :) That's how I know their numbers. I don't remember if I put it under my maiden or married name. It will either be under Elfleda Thompson or Elfleda Bourne. I'm almost positive I put it under Bourne. The event was Aspire in Pittsburg PA on 11 Feb.
I just spoke with my mother and she said hers has not started either.

Ella, thank you so much for this helpful information! I was able to do some research and discover the issue. I see that you did indeed signed up with the name Elfleda Bourne :). However, we accidentally created two separate accounts, one child on each, instead of placing both kiddos on the same account. I'm so sorry for our mistake! I have already sent a request to our processing department to merge these two accounts so you can see Keven and Samuel on one account. The account that will remain active is 07546691. Please rest assured that these two boys are both your sponsored children, and it will simply take some time for us to combine these accounts. Regrettably our processing department is a bit behind, but they will take care of your account as soon as they can.
That's wonderful! Is there a spot where I can find the account number and change it if necessary? I'm not sure what number is on my account.
Haley, Sponsor and Donor Relations, Operations
Hey Ella, the account that we should be keeping is global ID number 0746691. You should be able to create your online account with that ID and your email address. Regrettably, our processing team is several weeks behind on account management tasks, due to the recent closure of our programs in India, so it may be a couple more weeks before we have your account straightened out on our side. I do apologize for that delay in processing.
Is there somewhere I can email if I have problems creating the account online with that number?
Sarah, Official Rep
Hi Ella! You can email us at socialmedia@compassion.com if you ever have problems with anything Compassion related :)!
Hi there! We sponsored another boy on Friday Nov. 3rd and were wondering when he would show up on our account? I emailed Compassion and they said you just needed that first contribution. I emailed giving permission and I just wanted to make sure it got through since sometimes replies don't go through on my end! We are so excited to start writing this young man! :) our sponsor number is 06396954. Thank you all for everything you do at Compassion!
Shannon Massey, Employee
Hi Elizabeth! Congratulations on your new kiddo! I do not see that at this time we have received that first contribution. You may go to https://www.compassion.com/epayment/ to make your first contribution. Please make sure to add your child number as follows: NI-274-0182. Please let us know if you need any further help with this. :)
Thank you! We are so excited to start writing this sweet little guy! I just made the first contribution, and received a confirmation email. Will he show up on our existing account soon?
He is on our account! Thank you for your help! God bless you Shannon, for all you do for this wonderful ministry!
