Crisis in China- Please Help!

There is a weather crisis occurring in China right now that directly affects our daughter. They are having the coldest weather in years and south China is simply not equipped to deal with such harsh conditions. Our little girl is in Wuzhou, Guangxi province which is located in south China.

Here is an update from the organization that sponsors the orphanage where Sydney lives:

"Welfare institutions in south and central China are having the hardest time dealing with the weather disaster. This part of the country is simply not equipped to deal with extreme cold or heavy snow and ice. The most common critical problems are power outages, lack of safe drinking and cooking water, lack of fuel, diapers and public transportation. In many places where buses have stopped running, our Half the Sky nannies have been walking hours (in one case, 4 hours) along icy roads to get to the children. As conditions worsen, our nannies and teachers are remaining at the institutions day and night.They have given up the idea of going home to their own families for the holidays. They need quilts. They need warm clothing. They need coal, water, disposable diapers and food."

If you plan to donate to a charity this year, please consider donating to help out the children in orphanages in China right now.
