Emergency Relief for Jingmen

As you all know large parts of China have been severly hit by the
severe snowstorms and heavy weather the last weeks.
Also in Jingmen the winter is very harsh and bad.
On January 17 Jiaoli, my OPO daughter, already reported a very extreme situation in
Jingmen with heavy snowfall and closed main roads.
She had traveled by train and said if she had bought a busticket
from Hefei to Jingmen she would not have been able to reach Jingmen.
Since January the weather forecasts have been reporting more harsh
weather and new storms and snow.
I lost contact with Jiaoli and as far as I know she is with her
grandparents right now which is in rural Jingmen.
The Jingmen orphanage is located in the city of Jingmen and even
there the situation is critical due to loss of fuel and food.
Orphanages are in great need for warm clothes, quils, coals and food.
Grace and Hope for Children is committed to help the orphanages in
their program: people can donate money to help orphanages in need.
Grace and Hope for Children will do all they can to forward before
Chinese New Year the money to the orphanages. At least they will try
to phone them to bring them the news of the donations for extra
supplies. The orphanages are asked to keep receits and take
photos of what they bought from the donations.
I hope you will keep the Jingmen orphanage into your thoughts in
these difficult and stressful times to keep up with the weather
extremes and survive amidst the cold and shortages of fuel,
water,warm clothes, electricity, food and disposable diapers.

Please feel free to help the Jingmen orphanage by donating money, no
amount is too small to help them keep the children warm and safe.
You can make a donation by the Grace and Hope for Children website.
Go to 'How to Help', choose to make a 'Orphanic Specific
Çontribution', and then go to 'Hubei Jing Men' and from their you
can further accomplish your donation.

Thank you all so much for your help keeping Jingmen orphanage and foster families a safe shelter for the children whom they take care of.
