Gift N (Big Gift)
Gift N was born March 5, 2009.
I was born to a teenage mother who passed away giving birth. I was cared for by my grandmother as best as she could while trying to raise her own children and caring for her husband, who had cancer. I was taken in by the Sonrise Baby Home, very malnourished and small. However, over the next few months, I steadily gained weight. When I reached the age of 3 years, I was moved to the Sonrise Children’s Home to become part of my permanent family. I am so thankful to Jesus for the life I have.
I have completed the 7th grade (called P7 in Uganda) at the Sonrise Community Christian Primary School with very good grades. I was accepted into a secondary school in February 2024, but to continue, I need help to pay for all the costs associated with boarding school. All secondary schools, whether government or private, in Uganda are boarding schools with fees. Your support would enable me to continue my education. There are 3 semesters per year for a total of 6 years. Any amount helps.
