Special Care Centers
General Supplies Wish List ‐ 2016
Thank you for your willingness to consider joining us in providing for the needs of the 300+ infants and children who are cared for in our six Care Centers in China. Each child who comes into our care faces a wide range of very significant challenges due to their status as an orphan living with acute medical and/or special needs. With the loving day‐to‐day nurture and dedicated medical care provided to each child, there is great hope of not only survival, but of one day entering the love of a family through adoption.
