Earthquake Update

Hi - we received this from our China Case manager - if you are looking for a way to help out in China or wondering how you can help us celebrate our gift from God, she has included a link to our agency foundation website where donations are being accepted to 100% help the victims of this devastating event in our daughter's birth country

Dear China Families,

As of today, the death toll from the earthquake in China is 32,477 (confirmed by body counts), 220,109 injured and over 35,000 are still missing. 5 millions people are homeless. Thousands of people are living under temporary plastic tents on the streets. The lacking of food, water, very basic medical supplies is enough to break your heart, let alone the children who are crying for their parents whom they will never find and see again… The impact of this earthquake and the number of ordinary people affected are beyond my imagination…

I am asking you to please keep these people in your prayers/thoughts and to help in any way you can. If you can skip a value meal at a fast food restaurant, a fancy drink at a Starbucks, or go without your favorite smoothie today, instead, to donate that amount to the newly made orphans and affected orphanages, your effort will be greatly appreciated. Every dollar counts. All donations are tax deductable. CWA has set aside an account for the quake relief through CWA Foundation if you wish to donate through us. CWA guarantees that every penny will go to the affected orphanages and children. You can simply click on the link below and it will guide you step by step. It is easy and secure. I never ask people for money; but this hits home too close and my heart breaks every time when I read a story or see a picture of the condition/situation in my birth country; especially the vulnerable children…
