Coats & Christmas 4 Kids - We Did It!

This sweet little man is Will from Pingdingshan. His coat, seen here, is our 'first coat of Christmas!' We are SO very happy to announce that as of this morning, we have met our goal for the Coats & Christmas 4 Kids Campaign, which means that the 385 children in a GHC program will all have a new coat and a Christmas party this winter. If you notice- the number is higher than our original goal, because we found out just this week, as our staff is in Henan province, that we are now able to partner with Sanmenxia to expand the number of children they are able to place into foster care. As a result, we now have five more kids in our program!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who have donated and helped us spread the word about this project. We are so happy that our kids will be warm and have a bit of extra love this Christmas. Be on the lookout for photos as the coats and parties begin to happen!

A Family for Henry

Meet Henry, a tiny preemie from Pingdingshan, Henan province. Imagine what a difference the love of a family could make in his life. We hear he loves to smile - and we'd LOVE to put a big one on his face.

This holiday season, we are offering the opportunity to help us sponsor Henry as an online community, and to allow or supporters to celebrate their own loved ones in the process. For every $10 donation you make to our ChipIn campaign for Henry, you may email, share on Facebook, or download and print a holiday card to share with the special people in your life. Wouldn't it be an amazing thing to be able to follow Henry's progress for a year because of what we did together this Christmas? Please consider joining us in this effort!

And a Child Will Lead...

A couple of months ago, Grace & Hope was approached by Narissa, who wanted to raise funds to help sponsor a child in foster care in Qinzhou, Guangxi, because she too had been in foster care there. She is now running a fundraiser to benefit Grace & Hope for JUST that purpose. You can read more about Narissa at her blog. How awesome is that? If you can help Narissa meet her goal, click the ChipIn link below. Thank you, Narissa, for your generous heart!
