Debbie & Jessa’s Story: The Ripple Of Compassion

Debbie’s sponsorship of Jessa was a bond built on letters that shared stories of family, faith, and dreams. When Jessa turned 21, the sponsorship ended, leaving Debbie feeling the loss deeply. Yet, Jessa’s journey didn’t stop there. Now 24, Jessa is a licensed social worker, advocating for children who have experienced abuse. Reconnecting with Debbie, Jessa expressed gratitude for her support and how it inspired her to pursue her dreams. Jessa’s story is a testament to the profound impact compassion and connection can have—how one act of kindness can set a life on a new path.
