REQUESTS FROM OUR HEARTS
The four T's—Treasure, Time, Talent, and Ties—are more than options for support; they are lifelines for survival. If you give us any one of them, you are not simply supporting an organization. You are rewriting the destiny of mothers, fathers, and children who would otherwise be forgotten. This is not just CHISTRE's mission. It is a human mission. And it cannot wait.
WE NEED YOUR TREASURE
Every coin every note every sacrifice you make carries the power to save a life. Behind each statistic is a mother a father a child a real person struggling to hold on to tomorrow. Your gift is not a number on a ledger it is medicine in the hands of a sick child food on the table of a mother who has nothing strength for a community fighting to rise from despair. Your Treasure can also make dreams come true. A one-time or monthly gift provides medicines test kits and urgent care for families in need. Sponsorships cover the full cost of screening and treatment for someone living with TB HIV or viral hepatitis. Larger gifts help us fund mobile outreaches to remote villages support anti-HIV clubs in schools and purchase essential equipment like diagnostic kits and protective gear. Whether it’s donating cash real estate stocks or even cryptocurrency every bit helps turn despair into hope. Certainly! Here’s the revised section with a clear emphasis on giving “Time” including the example of Rick and how others can contribute.
WE NEED YOUR TALENT
Every person carries a gift within something that, when shared, can transform another life. Your skill as a teacher can open minds. Your voice as an advocate can break chains of stigma. Your creativity can capture hearts. Your professional expertise can guide solutions that save lives. Look at Laura, another friend from America. Her specialty is uncovering foundation funding opportunities. Instead of seeking gifts from private donors, she partners with multiple nonprofits and commits her talent to strengthening internal teams and guiding organizations to approach funders confidently. For CHISTRE, her guidance has been more than technical—it has been transformational. Her gift reminds us that talent is not always about what you give directly but how you empower others to grow, sustain, and thrive.
WE NEED YOUR TIME
There is no gift greater than time. A few hours of your day could mean a mother learns how to protect her unborn child, a young person discovers the truth about HIV, or a family gains the knowledge they need to live. When you volunteer, you bring love to life. You become the face of hope in a community that desperately needs to see that it has not been forgotten. We have seen this truth in action through Rick, a friend from faraway America. Though oceans separate us, Rick has given us something more valuable than gold his time. He guides us in areas we once struggled with, answering our questions with the speed of light. Morning, afternoon, and night, Rick has stood with us. His dedication has shattered old conspiracy theories that “whites hate blacks.” Instead, he has shown us that love and solidarity know no color and no border. But you don’t have to be far away or dedicate all your time just a few hours can make a difference. Whether it’s coaching a health volunteer, helping deliver supplies, conducting awareness sessions, or simply spending time listening and encouraging, your presence can change lives. Every moment you give is a meaningful act of hope, a piece of your life to lift another. This is what it means to give Time. It’s not only about hours; it’s about offering a part of yourself to build hope, change perspectives, and bring healing to those in need.
WE NEED YOUR TIES AND CONNECTIONS!
One introduction can change everything. You may know someone an influential leader, a policymaker, a faith community, a colleague who can open doors we cannot. Your connections can multiply our reach and turn one act of kindness into a wave of transformation. Reflecting on our beginnings, we remember the tragic story of a father who, gripped by fear and denial, buried his daughter alive after discovering she had HIV. That wound deepened our resolve. We swore, before God and our community that such tragedy would never happen again. Today, because of dedicated individuals like you those who have connected us to leaders, policymakers, and caring communities such tragedies have been replaced by a movement of knowledge and hope. Your Ties and Connections become the bridges to a future where every life is protected and valued. In every form, your generosity is hope put into action. Whether through your treasure, your time, your talent, or your ties and connections—you help us build a future where no one is left behind and every life matters. Together, we can turn tragedies into testimonies of resilience and hope.
