Become a Hands and Feet Partner
You may not be able to go all the way to China yourself… but you can support the people who are already there.
Sponsor one of our local Chinese staff members, and support the hands and feet that directly serve the children and families that need it.
Meet the staff members below and then select one of their names from the Fund option on this giving form.
Your sponsorship will provide relational, consistent, and life-changing support to vulnerable children, families, and communities through a Hope Station staff member.
Each month, you’ll get an update letter from your sponsored staff member about the vital work they did that month, and you’ll have the option to send encouragements back to them.
Margarete Zhang
China Director
“Throughout the past years working for Hope Station, I’ve always felt very passionate about my job. I hope to get more resources and opportunities by connecting with more people in the community, so that the children and families we serve can get more professional help, and our team can work in unity. As a staff member of Hope Station, I feel very pleased that I can help children in orphanages or in vulnerable families, to play with them, to chat with them, to hear their stories. It always makes me feel like there’s a great grace from above, and that I can share that with more children around me. I strongly believe that the more love we give, the more love we also receive in return.”
Margarete is a native of Sichuan province. She likes eating spicy food, and her major in college was Business English. Previous to joining Hope Station, she worked as an English teacher, and as a teacher for special needs children in both China and Canada.

Erica Xu
Family Strengthening Program manager
“I’m so happy that I have a chance to serve children with special needs and their families. Among the kids I serve there are children with Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism and Developmental Delay. Most of the families live in poverty. The parents raise their child alone, without the help from the government and society, life is really sad for them. During every home-visit, we chat, play, and encourage each other. I remember every child’s birthday and celebrate with them on their special day. Although every child is unique, they are all so special. I am so proud that I get to witness them thriving. I will do my best to support each family by giving them the help and love they deserve.”
Erica lives in Sichuan with her daughter. Growing up, she had a brother with Cerebral Palsy, so she understands first hand how difficult it can be to be part of a family with special needs. She is passionate about making sure local families get the resources and support they need.

Jade Wang
Family care specialist
“I was a therapy major in University, but when I looked for a job after graduation most of the options were to do massage. All of a sudden I felt like I’d lost my way. So, I worked at the local Disabilities Federation for 4 months just to help. During my time there, I realized that all around us there were especially poor children that were invisible to society. Now, my heart is moved to help for the sake of the children with special needs. This kind of work gives my life so much meaning. When I first heard about Hope Station, I learned that the work you were doing was specifically for public welfare and helping all kinds of children. It sparked an inner sense of purpose in me! Now, I’m honored to be part of this work.”
Jade provides direct support services to children and their families. She has a degree in General Therapy with an emphasis in speech therapy, and previously worked at the Disabilities Federation in her hometown. Jade began working for Hope Station in 2021.
As the Family Care Specialist, Jade is responsible for:
Angela
physical/speech/occupational Therapist
“I have nearly 10 years of experience in experiential training in leadership, mental health, life education, and career planning. Over this time, I’ve grown alongside teenagers and college students, guided by the belief that life impacts life. In 2019, I began working as a therapist for children with special needs, which allowed me to connect with more families. Through this work, I witnessed the challenges they face—therapy pressures, future uncertainties, and societal barriers—and developed a deeper commitment to supporting them in finding their value and meaning in society. I joined Hope Station because its family-centered approach aligns with my passion for serving families and creating lasting change. I also admire its core values of Honesty, Respect, Care, and Collaboration, which are reflected in every interaction. As part of this team, I’m excited to contribute to the growth and well-being of children and their families, working alongside like-minded individuals who share this vision.”
Angela provides directly therapy services to children, and gives therapeutic guidance and assessments to families as well. Angela began working for Hope Station in 2024.
As the Therapist, Angela is responsible for:
Sharon Park
China communications specialist
“Since I started high school, I have enjoyed spreading stories through design, painting, and video editing. However, when I turned this hobby into a career, I found that in the process of commercialization, the dissemination of stories has lost its original intention. We are merely catering to the world, rather than genuinely influencing it. Through my work in Hope Station, I have truly realized how our actions can make a difference, and it has rekindled my passion for what I do.”
Sharon provides support services to children with special needs and their families through social media activism and raising awareness in the community. Sharon began working for Hope Station in 2024.
