1. Automatic withdrawal - you can sign up for the automatic withdrawal process and on the 10th of every month, your contribution will be deducted from your bank account.
OR
2. Check - you may also send us a check every month. If you choose this method, checks must be made out to One Life.
After we receive your application, we will match you with a child in need, and you will receive more detailed information on your specific child.

Details:
The first withdrawal was postponed until the month of December. Automatic withdrawals will come out on the 10th of each month (or the day following if the 10th is a holiday or falls on the weekend).
If you wish to write to your sponsored child, please mail these letters to us and we will deliver them on upcoming mission trips. We have this policy so that we can arrange for translation, if necessary, and also because international mail is very unreliable in many parts of the world.
For only $32 per month, you can sponsor a child. All of your contribution goes directly to the program that supports the sponsored child.
Thembelani, South Africa
A letter from Thembelani, 16 year-old AIDS orphan from South Africa, to his sponsor in Shawnee, Kansas:
“You know people like you come one in a lifetime; that’s why I feel so blessed to know you. To me you are like a shining star that shines for us. You are like that—protect and guide us. Before I knew you, we were not happy like the other kids, but now we eat normal like the other kids do. We have smile on our face when I play with my brothers and my sisters. I can see them smile—that’s a warm feeling seeing your family smile.”
