Hello... I sponsor 6 woman at the moment. I will tell you from experience someone who is doing the work and doing the program wants to be asked. It is an honor to have someone ask me to help them to recover from a hopeless state of mind and body. I know what it feels like to be helpless and alone and know the fear of asking someone to sponsor me, but being a sponsor now all that fear is gone. Just go ahead and ask. If they say no trust that there is a reason that person was not chosen for you or ask them if they can direct you towards someone that is sponsoring. Good luck on your search
