Actually I think you are talking about sponsoring a child. You can do that! Anyone can, if you have the means. What about a big brother program? Not sure where you are in the world, but here in the US we have big sisters/big brothers. That is when you would 'become' a big brother to an underprivileged kid, usually with no dad in the picture. You would take them to do things a few times a week, spend time with them, and that really makes a difference in the life of a child! You can also contact orphanages and see what sponsor programs they have. You may be able to do something similar there.

I am honored to have you as a contact! Thank you for caring! I was one of those kids - lived with my family, but was abused every day, in every way too. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for feeling for those kids!

Like...I don't know you but I swear if you are serious I would so marry you like right now!!!

Anyways, you could find a organization that will let you spend time with children-as a mentor.

I am sure that you could sponsor a child though too!

Hi!
Of course you can.
Maybe instead of helping one orphan, you can donate money to an institution that distribute better the money & can make the live better of the whole orphanage.
Also, be involve. Give your time to the kids.
Maybe once a week or every forthnight, plan an afternoon with the kids. Maybe just reading a book or painting with them, or playing football with the boys.
Some love is better than all the money in the world.
Cheers
