Every year, around 100,000 children are abandoned.
98% of them have special needs.
Children are left out in the cold because their families aren’t equipped to care for them.
By strengthening families, providing access to therapy and resources, training caregivers, and offering real life support for real life problems, children with special needs can grow up feeling safe, known, and loved.
Sponsor a family for just $40/month to help them KEEP THEIR CHILD and give them the consistent support they need.

Boy, born in 2014
Special Need: Developmental Delay
Hi! I'm Tao Tao. I live outside of Chengdu in the countryside with my parents, grandparents, and great-grandma. My parents love me so very much, but life has never been easy for us. Though there are many people in my family, only my dad can work. My parents struggle to provide for our general family needs, and especially the special needs I have.
If you sponsor my family, I will get speech therapy and access to more learning opportunities. My family and I will get home visits every month from the Hope Station staff, and they will teach my parents more about my disability. My parents and grandparents will get the relational and practical support they really need to help me thrive!

Boy, born in 2008
Special Need: Down Syndrome
Hi! I'm JunJie. I live with my mom, dad, older brother, and grandma. I go to a special needs school, but I also need therapy every week. My mom is my biggest hero, and she loves me so much. It's hard for her to take care of me sometimes though, because many people do not accept me the way I am. I love dancing and listening to music, but the local dance schools won't let me enroll in dance class because I have Down Syndrome.
If you sponsor my family, I will get therapy twice a week, I'll get a private dance teacher just for me, and my parents will get the emotional and practical support they need!

Girl, born in 2013
Special Need: Down Syndrome
Hi! I'm Fu Yin. I live with my dad and my two older brothers in the city of Chengdu. We have a one room apartment where we do all our cooking, sleeping, living, and hanging out. I love making new friends, but I don't go to school yet. I haven't ever had therapy, but I'm eager to learn new things as long as I get to talk to other people while I'm learning! My family has experienced a lot of hard things. Both of my brothers have Thalassemia, so we have a lot of financial hardship because of their medical bills.
If you sponsor my family, I will get therapy every week! My family will get home visits every month. Hope Station staff will teach my dad more about Down Syndrome, and give him the relational and practical support he really needs to take care of me at home!

Girl, born in 2012
Special Needs: Epilepsy, ADHD
Hi! I'm Zhen Fang. I live with my dad and my mom. Our family used to be homeless, because my dad had a hard time finding work and my mom struggles with mental illness. We finally were able to get some financial assistance from the government, so now we have a small apartment. But life still isn't easy. My dad works really hard to support me and my mom. I go to school, and I'm in 4th grade. But it's hard for me to focus, and my hands and feet don't function the same as the other kids. So it's difficult even to hold a pencil. I really love being around people, and playing ball is my favorite thing to do.
If you sponsor my family, I will get therapy every week! My parents and I will get home visits every month. Hope Station staff will teach my parents more about my disabilities, and give them the relational and practical support they really need to take care of me at home!

Hi! We are twins KeXin and KeWen. We live with our mom and dad in the city.

We both need therapy and consistent medical intervention.
If you sponsor our family, we will be able to get the therapy we need every week, and the medical intervention we need to thrive on a regular basis. Our parents and us will get home visits every month.
