George Bush Sr was pen pals with a Filipino boy, writing heartwarming notes and secretly sponsoring him for 10 years
The former president's letters were released posthumously by CNN which revealed that Timothy and Bush senior were connected through an organization called Compassion International
Late President George H.W. Bush wrote heartwarming letters to a young Filipino boy, whom he secretly sponsored for 10 years, according to reports. Bush began exchanging letters with seven-year-old Timothy in January 2002, as he wrote in his first letter: "Dear Timothy, I want to be your new pen pal." He reportedly used a pseudonym to converse with the young boy.
Bush senior, in his first letter to Timothy, wrote: "'I am an old man, 77 years old, but I love kids; and though we have not met I love you already. I live in Texas — I will write you from time to time — Good Luck. G. Walker."
