Review for Unbound, Kansas City, KS, USA
At Mass one Sunday, a Priest from Unbound gave a Homily about his Ministry at Unbound. I've always wanted to be a sponsor, but until then wasn't able to make the financial commitment. I was orphaned at 15, when my mother was killed in a car accident. My family was split up, and I was on my own - literally.
I so wanted to help someone not to have to suffer the way I did. No body wants the responsibility of a teenager.
When I got to the table where all the children's flyers were, on the left - all by herself was a young teenage girl. All the others had been chosen, except for this teenager.
I noticed her name was April. My mother's birthday was in April, I picked her flyer up and began reading, her birthdate and my mothers were the same.
She was mine!
She always thanked me for "all" I did, but she didn't realize all she had actually did for me.
She has graduated college now and I have finished my commitment with her, but I miss her and her family.
Thank you Unbound for this beautiful opportunity!!!
