Welcome to On The Path with Cheryl Nembhard!
This week, Cheryl sits down with Eric Kaiya — a Compassion alumni whose story is a remarkable testimony of resilience, hope, and the life-changing power of being seen.
After losing his father at just eight years old, Eric's childhood in Uganda was marked by poverty, displacement, and the painful belief that his life held little value. But through the support of his local church, Compassion's sponsorship program, and a sponsor named Dora who chose to invest in his future, everything began to change.
Today, Eric lives in Canada with his wife and son and serves as a Settlement Service Worker, helping vulnerable newcomer families build a new life—offering the same hope that once transformed his own.
In this inspiring conversation, they explore:
- How poverty shaped Eric's identity and how hope helped restore it
- The life-changing impact of sponsorship, encouragement, and being chosen
- Why compassion has the power to transform a child's entire future
- How Eric is now helping others find hope through his work with newcomer families
Eric's story is a powerful reminder that one act of compassion can change the trajectory of a life. If you've ever wondered whether your generosity can make a lasting difference, this conversation will show you just how far hope can travel.
Listen now and be encouraged by a story of redemption, resilience, and the extraordinary impact of choosing to care.
