This sweetheart is Mileidis


Mileidis Cecilia Rodriguez Vidales lives in Columbia with her parents and three siblings. She likes to jump rope and play house when she isn't helping her family. There are 1,200 people in her village, and the houses there are constructed of cement and brick with tin roofs. The average family in Mileidis' village earns just $43 per month.


Compassion offers one-to-one sponsorship, and believe me, you will be a very special person in Mileidis' life if you become her sponsor. You can write Mileidis as often as you wish and can send small paper gifts like stickers and tattoos. Compassion will even translate email messages and give them to Mileidis. The $35 per month that Mileidis will receive will provide her with Bible teaching, food, medical check-ups, first aid training, sports, celebrations, tutoring and academic support. Compassion will also offer support to Mileidis' family.
UPDATE: MILEIDIS HAS A SPONSOR! Thank you so much, Allison. Our son had been praying hard that Mileidis would find a sponsor "by the end of the month." And on March 31st at 9 p.m., Allison called to tell us she wanted to be Mileidis' sponsor. Wow!

  1. MILEIDIS NOW HAS A SPONSOR!!! Thank you so much Allison! Our son Gage was praying for weeks that Mileidis would find a sponsor "before the end of the month." And Allison called at 9 p.m. on March 31 to say she wanted Mileidis. Our kids were blown away and so were we. Amazing!
