Donations
As with all organizations our biggest need is for financial support to pay the day-to-day running costs of the homes that we run. As of 2011, children are cared for in six units, Shun Yi main foster home which includes Love Without Boundaries Heartbridge Step-up Step-down unit and a foster care program working with local families, and the existing special care units in Jiaozuo, Luoyang, Xinyang and Zheng Zhou. The total capacity of all these units is 320 beds. We employ over 500 local people in these units. Our general running costs, covering all of the units, are approximately US$160,000 per month.
For details on to how to help us financially, please visit our Donations page.
