You can participate in our Ministry in 2 ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Make a pledge to sponsor one or more children – use the Sponsor Page <\/a>to do this. Each sponsorship costs $240 annually ($20 per month).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Make a periodic or one-time donation to cover the expenses of un-sponsored children and other on-going expenses. For eg. There may be incidental expenses like a medical treatment for a child, un-foreseen issues affecting the lives of the children or staff. There are also times where we need to support expansion of the projects and infrastructure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Zelle is the now preferred way to accept donations as it is commission free. You can send a Zelle payment to trustees@light-the-candle.org. Please mention your email in the memo so that we can send you a receipt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
