Project Report | Sep 16, 2024
Autumn 2024 Report

By Clinton White | Project Leader

With so much of our efforts (and funding) going towards our building project, Blossom Cottage, we've been operating the rest of our work on a shoestring budget. We were fortunate, thanks to you and other donors, to have funds for our summer camps back in June and July. Funds received since then have gone primarily to our weekly orphanage visits.

There is an upcoming need related to our work of supporting adoptive and foster families. A family we know adopted a child that we've known for years. She had significant health issues, but it turns out that she had more issues than the family was aware of and more than the orphanage and social services told them about. In fact, they are preparing a lawsuit regarding the lack of disclosure.

In the meantime, their health care cost have skyrocketed. We've been told the mother is working three odd jobs and the father is working two jobs. They are in the process of gathering a list of their current and upcoming expenses so they can help their little girl. While not much compared, for example, to US healthcare prices, we expect their expenses to be in the $5000 range for treatments and procedures through the end of this year. We intend to help them with those expenses and donations to this General Fund will help us do that.

Thank you for your support,

 

Clinton
