Many people are naturally drawn toward wanting to make a positive difference in children's lives.  At Starfish, this time of year particularly pulls on our hearts as we contemplate precious special-needs orphans in China.  That's why we are reaching out to ask for your help in sending the gift of Hope to a child in need.

We are excited to have been part of the solution
"Engulfed by my forever Mom"
Our recent Starfish adoption
 
for so many children in past years.  To date, Starfish has rescued 169
children and facilitated over 250 surgeries.  Over 100 of our kids have been adopted into loving, forever homes - like Bella, shown in the picture here. We can't wait to continue this great work in our new home in Southeast China.  And the need is urgent. There are so many babies waiting for us!
 

The move from Xi'an to our new location requires significant financial resources.  The Starfish apartments need to be outfitted from the ground up.  These apartments come completely empty - no flooring, no wall coverings, no lights, no appliances.  You can help us get these apartments ready for children as quickly as possible by your year-end donation.

 

 You can give a gift in memory of someone, or you can request a personalized hand-written acknowledgement be sent to an individual or organization to whom you dedicate your donation.  All donations are completely tax-deductible.

Thank you for helping us bring healing, happiness and forever homes to these children by including Starfish in your year-end giving. And thank you from the children whose lives you will bless.
