Sharlon was sponsored for eight years but sadly her sponsor was unable to help her complete her education. Without a new sponsorship, she will not be able to finish school.

Sharlon’s father died when she was 8 years old. Her parents were very poor already but on her own her mother had an extremely difficult time providing for their basic needs. She ultimately left Sharlon with her grandmother because she couldn’t even afford food for her. They live very far from day schools now so Sharlon really needs to go to boarding school where she can be well fed and sheltered.

Sharlon is very hopeful that after she completes her education, she can come back and minister to her community as a pediatrician. She enjoys reading novels and studying group dancing.

To help Sharlon go to boarding school, she will need $150/month from one sponsor, or $75/month from two sponsors.
