Sponsorship for The Branch/Seeds of Change

hello everyone!!

i am sending out this email because this need has become urgent. as of april this year, The Branch(Seeds of Change transition house) received our first official transitioning teenage girl. her name is Skarleth. these past couple of months we as a staff have met and discussed exactly what is the realistic monthly support we will need for each transitioning teenager. praise the Lord we have a sponsor who pays for the rental of the apartment we use as the transition home for right now. however, the monthly cost such as food, personal supplies, and medical is still lacking as well as a sponsorship for schooling. we have added up the needs and came up with a total of $140 a month per teen. this is 4 sponsors at $35 a month per teen. now this does not include school/university. with skarleth as our first, we are still researching universities and are as of right now not exactly sure what all this will cost. we do know it is not going be anything near what we pay for universities in the states. as soon as we know more details about the university, i will be sending out another email. skarleth should be starting next month or september, so by next month, we should know more info.

i guess what needs to be said is that WE NEED SPONSORS. the truth is that we cannot have a ministry without money. i know many people are struggling right now to get by....believe me, i know...the economy in the states effects us here too. however, if God lays it on your heart to help our teens please know that they will receive every penny. i am working on a Branch ministry bank account being set up stateside. hopefully this will be available within the next month or so. as of right now, if you feel led to start giving, let me know and we will work out all the details about where to send it and so on.

thank you so much for all your prayers!! i miss you all and am forever grateful for your love and support.
God bless in abundance!! His, mandy perkins
