Tonight I came across information on the Orphanage (considered a foster home) where our son is. This is what I found:
Establishment of Angel House
Angel was originally home team is the cradle of some of the mothers of the composition, beginning in their individual capacities in children from poor families do shake the Nets cases of serious illness relief, and later to the "angel mother" in the name of Save the Children to do. A the end of November 2007 in the evening, one of four sisters from Henan phone, they said from the Internet, we have helped children in distress, and asked where we could help them orphans? There are several orphans they have cleft lip and palate and heart children, due to the lack of timely treatment and have not been well-fed, the children are already dying.
As the mother of the earliest promoters of Deng angel sister, loving mother led a cradle of several online discussion, assistance to orphans and children from poor families relief is very different for children from poor families only need to raise funds and medical advice, and the remaining child surgery pre-and postoperative care are the responsibility of their parents, we do not need to consider. But for orphans is completely different, we took the orphan treatment, care responsibilities during his Beijing surgery and rehabilitation requires us to bear. We need to take care of her (his) daily eating and sleeping, is responsible for his health, medical, security, and even emotions and feelings. It points to the need for a specialized foster foster these children!
Therefore, the establishment of a foster point for promoters is enormous pressure, not only to bear the enormous pressure to raise funds, but also due to the 24 hours to take care of these sick children living, so also bear a great social and legal responsibilities, No sponsoring agency, operating entirely on foster point users to maintain 100,500 donation, once funds have difficulties how to do one day? Who bear children because of lack of funds back to the poor conditions of the orphanage can not imagine it going? ?
But time does not allow us to think clearly some of these issues loving mother, if we hesitate, several children there may soon be no, for these had been very poor orphans, several of our people several hours set this things better within three days to rent a set of three-bedroom house, newly established foster point, consider the funding issue, we rented a house without any furniture and appliances!
When Angel House was founded, received strong support from the Henan Children's Hope Foundation, they agreed to Angel House hopes hanging in the child's bottom, silently hold up an umbrella angel home!
The first batch of four children, the British party, party party, party and party jade and joy even in the case of the house are not on a bed was taken over, and then within a week we collected from the Internet to the crib, aunt Temporary sofa bed, TV, washing machine, refrigerator, pots and pans, etc., and slowly the empty house has a warm feeling of a home.
Angel House was founded six years of effort
After six years of efforts, the angel of the house a total of 147 foster children (as of December 31, 2013), a maximum of 8 years old, the youngest a few days, these children are all congenital children with heart disease disease, cleft lip and palate, anal atresia, intestinal obstruction, spina bifida, hydrocephalus, clubfoot turned the big bubble skin syndrome, cerebral palsy and Down's syndrome.
We were a total of six children were given 101 106 surgeries, including 72 children already recovered.
Among a total of 71 years of our children after surgery rehabilitation, adoption is a loving family, began their new life, the blessings they have a better future than flowers!
Angel House funding sources and expenditures
Angel House was originally supported by the Nets in shake loving friends, the rush was established, the current home of Angels daily expenses are still entirely dependent on the donor community who love friends and 50,100 in support, the support is very difficult, so we each pick a new orphan, need to be fierce ideological struggle, we need to give up the fight and hovering between!
Angel House main expenditures are: monthly wages of around 150,000 yuan; rental house is 30 million per year; month aunt kids food, water, electricity, gas, etc. is about 20,000 yuan a month, child emergency medical expenses (this part is not fixed every month).
Currently the cost of surgery is basically a large child to raise alone, easily Angel House will not use the cost of living, because of the number of children do not want surgery, so that dozens of children at risk famished! All children applying for cleft lip and palate surgery costs sweet Fund, the majority of children to raise alone surgery costs only! For example, in December 2011, Zhou Lanhui of congenital heart surgery cost 180,000, all the angels home living support.
Children usually the cost of treatment of common diseases such as cough, fever big difference in a month, a good case about ten thousand a month, not when a child is likely to last 3-5 million, the medical expenses must be Angel House living donation to bear! So we are very afraid of sick children, especially children of heart disease, once contracted pneumonia, there will be life-threatening, and the cost of a high! June 2008, a small U.S. (with heart) and clever infection bronchitis, were hospitalized at the Watson Research Hospital and the children were discharged before 6000 spent, in July 2008, Yu and (there is a serious heart condition ) fever, blood 23000, do not doubt sepsis, rushed to the child Institute, and later measles pneumonia in children infected with the Institute, before and after treatment costs 20,000 more! April 2009 newborns money Xinyi also because of pneumonia, was sent eighty-one hospital neonatal ward, spent a total of more than 10,000! 2011 New Year's Eve, we picked up in Hebei Zhaoxian Matthew, in Matthew before heart surgery, pneumonia twice to spend 40,000, a palliative cardiac surgery fee is 50,000, two radical cost 100,000 heart, this At least 200,000 children all costs! !
If there are several such consecutive children, angel home is in danger of famished!
Angel orphan home for orphans in foster care point of surgery, rehabilitation, foster care agencies. Moms shake the Nets BBS platform through interconnected together to raise the cost of living for the children, surgery.
Foster points orphan purpose: to help abandoned children, restoring health, return home!
In orphan adoptions, Angel House orphanage is mainly done with work early adoption, adoption procedures and adoption of specific families and children account for the location of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the angel of the family and the adoptive family will not be charged any fees.
Angel House is like a small sapling, under the care of many caring people, growing up! Angel oldest of four children home from 2012 up to the time the child has reached 50! Aunt from the fewest number two aunts to the current staff of 30 (including three with cerebral palsy rehabilitation division, three kindergarten teachers)! In calling too many children's lives, whether it is an angel rescue children from home or area are doubling the number of annual growth, with an annual gross salary of employees is also looking through looking through increased growth.
Early January 2010 Angel House move again
From May 19, 2012 began, Angel foster home in Beijing is only one point: the west Tiantongyuan North Station Dongsanqi village 84 acres of land on the 31st hospital
