From Poverty to Purpose: Kiwi Cook’s Unbelievable Journey | Episode 334
In this deeply moving episode, Rachel sits down with Kiwi Cook, a former Compassion International sponsored child, whose story will stop you in your tracks. Growing up in poverty overseas, Kiwi’s early life was marked by scarcity, resilience, and a dream that felt impossibly far away… until one person’s “yes” changed everything.
Together, they explore what daily life looked like for Kiwi as a child, how sponsorship gave her more than just practical help, and what it feels like to now stand on the other side of her story. Kiwi brings raw honesty, contagious joy, and a powerful perspective on how love, dignity, and opportunity can ripple through generations.
If you’ve ever wondered whether sponsorship really works or if your small yes could actually change a life, this is the conversation for you.
