Helping Jiangyong Orphanage

I received an email today in regards to Jiangyong Orphanage. They have asked us to provide clothes for their children and baby formula. They estimated it would cost $500 to cover these items. We are thrilled to have raised over $900 to send them so now they can buy some "extras" whether it be more formula, toys for the children or some other things they have wanted but couldn't purchase. We will be getting photos of the items they purchase in the next couple of weeks and I'll post them here.

There are only 7 children living in Jiangyong Orphanage right now. Even though it is a tiny orphanage, they still do not have adequate means to care for the children - we are thrilled to help them out and to give them the surprise of more funds! They care for 5 children under the age of 1, 1 child who is 4 and 1 child between the ages of 7-9.

I heard from Dao Orphanage today! The Director was shopping for items for the children and their facility with the donation we sent them. So many people around the world contributed to this donation and I can't wait to hear (and see) what they were able to purchase with the money. I will post pictures here when I receive them!

Stay tuned....
