Because of You: A Letter of Thanks from Kenya

Our gratitude for you runs deeper than words can fully express. Because of your compassion and commitment to caring for orphans and widows around the world, children who once felt lost are now safe and loved and dreaming about their futures. Your support doesn’t just meet urgent needs; it plants seeds of hope that will grow for generations to come.

But don’t just take our word for it.

We invite you to read this heartfelt thank-you letter from Elizabeth, one of our field team members in Kenya, written on behalf of the children of the Emmanuel Kinship Family. Her words are a beautiful reflection of the lives you are helping shape today and the dreams you’re inspiring for tomorrow.

A Letter from Elizabeth

Dear Friends,

Receive warm greetings filled with love and appreciation from the Emmanuel Kinship children. We take this special moment to extend our deepest gratitude to you, our dear supporters, who have stood with these children and made them who they are today.

Children from the Emmanuel Kinship FamilyMany of Emmanuel children came into the Kinship feeling hopeless. They arrived from different backgrounds, each carrying unique stories of pain, rejection, loss, and sorrow. But by God’s grace, each of them met their “Good Samaritan” that brought them into the Kinship family. Through your love, care, and support, their lives have been transformed.

Today, these children have hope. They dream big and walk confidently toward becoming doctors, nurses, pastors, actors, singers, teachers, pilots, parents, and many other great callings. They love one another like true brothers and sisters. Some share similar stories that once brought tears but are now testimonies they laugh about. Proof that God truly changes stories.

Thank you for walking with these children from the time they were little to now growing boys and girls full of ambition, vision, and purpose. Your support has shaped their journey and continues to guide them toward their God ordained destinies. Because of you, they are becoming living testimonies of God’s goodness.

May God richly bless you, enlarge your territories, and reward you openly for the seeds of love you have planted in these precious lives.

With deep gratitude and blessings.

Lots of love,

Elizabeth

God is using your compassion to shape their futures. You made this possible, and we are so deeply thankful for you.
