Giving New Hope to YingShang Orphanage
Giving This event is aimed to find sponsors for the orphans in Yingshang Orphanage in Known as “the orphanage with no windows” by many volunteers who have spent time there, the children have lived a rather difficult life. They hardly have proper food. The food is mainly rice and a soup of egg and vegetables. The children with cerebral palsy are in an even worst condition. Because of the lack of medical expense and care workers, these 60 children spend all their time lying on beds and their health condition has not been improved at all. Some other children like those who have heart diseases, are waiting hopelessly for their surgeries. We hope to improve their food and health conditions through this program. With the help of warm-hearted people and corporations, we believe it is not difficult to improve the conditions of the orphanage.
Giving Through this program, a full range of activities including
1. Medical attention for the cerebral palsy children and other children with medical conditions 2. Hire and train therapy staffs to help the Cerebral Palsy children with daily rehabilitation 3. Send cerebral palsy children for therapy and treatment in hospitals with dedicated cerebral palsy treatment 4. Improve the children’s food supply Send regular staff or volunteers to help clean up and spend time with the children. Photos of YingShang Orphanage

Launch of Burn Trauma Survivor Support Program
Giving New Hope - Burn Trauma Survivor Support Program
Burn injuries can devastate the child and their family members. Unlike other injuries, burn injuries linger, leaving a permanent reminder. The complex interplay of physical and psychological trauma resulting from severe burn injuries can profoundly affect the lives of children for years to come. Children who suffer a severe burn often must undergo both physical and psychological healing to return to their everyday lives. Children may have to cope with embarrassment and staring, and may also require frequent hospital admissions and operations until they stop growing. Unlike any other injury, burns and scalds may leave a life-long scar, which reminds everyone of the trauma they have been through.
The Giving New Hope - Burn Survivor Support Program is launched to fund burn survivors from rural area to pay their medical bills to reconstruct their skin and life. Through this program, a full range of programs and services children are given the resources to reconstruct their live.
Program to support the burn survivor include:
Reconstructive Surgery
Physical Therapy
Transportation
Emergency Housing Assistance
School Re-entry Support
Special Burn Supplies (i.e. pressure garments, facemasks, etc.)
