Disablility Awareness

Family Raises Awareness and Funds'
 

November 2008- One of the goals of Hope's Heart is to spread awareness of the vast numbers of orphans in China.  Many people simply do not know of the extensive needs faced by hundreds of thousands of these babies/children/teens each day.  One family, however, not only understands, but they did something about it.

We were delighted to be contacted this fall by a wonderful family who desired to spread awareness and help an orphan in honor of National Adoption Month (November).  Jay and Jennifer adopted their daughter from China.  They joined with Hope's Heart to help a precious little boy named Bing.  Bing is an eight year old orphan who was in need of a new prosthetic leg and foot to allow him the opportunity to walk and play. 

The family organized a garage sale involving their friends, family, and church in the effort.  Through this special gesture of kindness and generosity, many others became more familiar with the situation in China and the ministry of Hope’s Heart Orphan Foundation.  Not only was Bing's new leg/foot fully funded but additional monies were raised to assist with another medical need. 

Hope's Heart is grateful to Jay and Jennifer for their caring hearts and their initiative to help orphans in need.  They are a beautiful example of compassionate hearts giving back. 

We encourage you to consider hosting a garage sale or other fund raising event to increase awareness and make a life changing difference for a child.  

December UPDATE-  Bing is being fitted for his new leg and foot.  We hope to soon hear that he is up and running around with his friends.
