Every year, around 100,000 children are abandoned.
98% of them have special needs.
Children are left out in the cold because their families aren’t equipped to care for them.
By strengthening families, providing access to therapy and resources, training caregivers, and offering real life support for real life problems, children with special needs can grow up feeling safe, known, and loved.
Sponsor a family for just $40/month to help them KEEP THEIR CHILD and give them the consistent support they need.

Boy, born in 2014
Special Need: Developmental Delay
Hi! I'm Tao Tao. I live outside of Chengdu in the countryside with my parents, grandparents, and great-grandma. My parents love me so very much, but life has never been easy for us. Though there are many people in my family, only my dad can work. My parents struggle to provide for our general family needs, and especially the special needs I have.
If you sponsor my family, I will get speech therapy and access to more learning opportunities. My family and I will get home visits every month from the Hope Station staff, and they will teach my parents more about my disability. My parents and grandparents will get the relational and practical support they really need to help me thrive!

Girl, born in 2012
Special Needs: Epilepsy, ADHD
Hi! I'm Zhen Fang. I live with my dad and my mom. Our family used to be homeless, because my dad had a hard time finding work and my mom struggles with mental illness. We finally were able to get some financial assistance from the government, so now we have a small apartment. But life still isn't easy. My dad works really hard to support me and my mom. I go to school, and I'm in 4th grade. But it's hard for me to focus, and my hands and feet don't function the same as the other kids. So it's difficult even to hold a pencil. I really love being around people, and playing ball is my favorite thing to do.
If you sponsor my family, I will get therapy every week! My parents and I will get home visits every month. Hope Station staff will teach my parents more about my disabilities, and give them the relational and practical support they really need to take care of me at home!

Boy, born in 2015
Special Needs: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Hi! I'm Jun Xi. It's just my mom and me together, because my dad left us when I was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. My condition is a rare genetic disease, and it's degenerative. With every day, the muscles in my body are getting weaker and weaker. I probably won't live past my 35th birthday. It's really hard on both me and my mom. Right now, I'm still walking and talking, but as I grow up I'll need to start using a walker and then a wheelchair. My mom feels really lonely most of the time, and thinking about my future is so hard for her.
If you sponsor my family, I will get therapy every week and access to therapy equipment at home. My mom and I will get home visits every month. Hope Station staff will teach my mom more about my disability, and give her the encouragement and support she needs to take care of me at home!

My family and I will get home visits every month from the Hope Station staff, and they will teach my parents more about my disability.
