The ultimate purpose in life....to give

Those words were spoken by a man named Narayanan Krishnan. He urges everyone to experience the joy of giving love to others. This is the ultimate purpose of our lives.
Hearing these words on this day seem so fitting, as I reflect on the world's greatest gift given to us many centuries ago in the form of a newborn baby. A gift which brings the ultimate hope and light for all of us.
And again, I am overwhelmed with the giving by others for the orphans in Guangxi. We have raised enough for 10 wheelchairs!!! Five orphanages will receive these gifts for their special needs kids.
Innocent children, whose bodies have been broken, will have their lives made just a little bit easier through the kindness and generosity of others around the world who understand just what Narayanan Krishnan has to say.

Hope for the Holidays

It has been 3 months since returning from China and the kids are still on my heart. I think about them daily, and have tried to think of more ways to help. During trainings and treatment planning I have spoken to the caregivers about the need for daily positioning for the children with Cerebral Palsy. Without the equipment, it has been difficult, but the staff is trying. One of the orphanages I have taught at has recently sent me this picture of a child they are trying to help:



The staff have used a child ride on toy to help this child to sit up. It is a great start but she needs more to gain better control of her little body.

I have been fortunate to work with friends in Nanning who have sent me some hope for these kids...hope for the holidays :)






This is made in China, and costs $207.19 USD to get one to an orphanage in Guangxi. It is my hope to get 6 chairs to the orphanages I have worked with to help the precious kids in their care. The chairs would allow the children to see the world in a different way from just laying on their backs all day. And it would benefit the children to gain better control over the muscles in their bodies. These chairs are desperately needed...

ANY donation amount would be helpful. In honor of the holidays, if a gift donation is made in someone's name, I can offer a certificate for presentation. Once the chairs are delivered, photos can be sent to the donor or recipient of a gift donation.

Donations can be accepted by paypal or credit card through the donate now button on this webpage. Paypal donations can also be made to knowinghope127@gmail.com

Would you please help give special Chairs for Christmas, special Chairs for Chanukah, or special Chairs for Chinese New Year? Would you help partner with me to give hope for the holidays? Together a difference can be made in the lives of orphans who do not have a chance at adoption.

On behalf of the sweet orphans waiting for chairs in Guangxi, thank you!!!
