What would it take to have a world without orphans?
In China there is a unique problem causing orphanhood.
But here’s the thing:
These children’s parents likely wanted the best for them.
Social stigmas, financial pressures, and lack of resources make it incredibly difficult for families to raise a child with special needs.
XiaoHang was born with Cerebral Palsy. His parents bravely chose to keep him and raise him.
But when he was still little, the pressure was too much and his mama quietly gave her son to another family and visited him when she could.
She says she’ll never forget the heartbreak of that day.
Parents of children with special needs are desperate for their child to get the support they need.
They see children with disabilities in the local orphanages going to school, getting therapy, and getting 24 hr care.
But an orphanage is NEVER a healthy place for a child to grow up.
Children with special needs all over China are at risk of being abandoned or surrendered.
The good news: you can prevent it.
The simple choice to support family strengthening instead of orphanages can keep families together.
Your gift can help a child at risk today.
You can provide essential support services to a family, and prevent their child from ending up in an orphanage. It’s as easy as making a single donation or choosing a family to sponsor monthly.
