The Answer is in Your Hands

Not too long ago, my four-year-old daughter Arianna was struggling with a simple math problem in pre-kindergarten.

To help her with the concept of addition, I formulated the problem in a different way and asked her, “If you hold three apples on one hand and four apples on the other hand, how many apples do you hold in total?”

​Without hesitation, she replied, “Two!”



Trying to keep calm, I put on a sweet smile and asked her, “And why is that, honey?”

“My hands are too tiny. I can only hold one apple per hand!”

At A Chance In Life, we too have a problem to solve and I would like to ask you to be part of the solution. Please read carefully …

ASSUMPTION: Currently there are 1,000 children in our brand-new sponsorship program. Already, 71 of them have found a caring sponsor who, with only $1 per day, is providing:
  • The chance to receive an education
  • The chance to live in a safe place with the resources to meet their needs
  • The chance to be a part of a supportive, caring community
  • The chance to help lead and shape that community through our approach of self-government
  • The encouragement and comfort that comes with knowing someone cares about them
    ​
PROBLEM: We have 929 children who do not have sponsors yet.

SOLUTION: YOU

Yes … with your help we can start solving this challenge and provide a chance in life to one unfortunate boy or girl now. Would you help me solve this problem? Just click here to start your sponsorship today and we will immediately send you a photo and the story of your child.

You deserve an A+ for all that you have done and continue to do to support our programs around the world. For this, the children you help will be forever grateful.

P.S. Do you have any suggestions on how to explain to Arianna that the answer is “seven apples” without hurting her feelings? Forget about it … I’ll just eat the other five apples. Anyway … an apple a day …
