As we enter the Year of the Dragon, it is with pride and enthusiasm that Half the Sky Foundation (HTS) and China Care Foundation (CCF) jointly announce a further deepening of their partnership.

Together we have established the China Care Home in Beijing, which under the management of HTS, has cared for and provided life-saving surgeries for more than 560 medically fragile Chinese orphans since 2009. Since our founding, CCF has changed the lives of nearly 1,400 children. Many of these children have since been adopted into loving families.

Comfort Chen

katie — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:50:59 -0600

Chen was born with spina bifida, a birth defect in which the spinal cord does not develop completely. In some spina bifida cases, like Chen’s, the membranes that protect the spinal cord push through the opening left by the incomplete spinal cord and form a sac. Without treatment, the chances of an infection occurring from a ruptured sac are high.

China Care is seeking to raise $1,500 to cover Chen’s medical costs, which include surgically removing the sac, pre and post operative care and round-the-clock nurture from loving nannies at the China Care Home.

Her health has been compromised due to the fact that she cannot eat properly. Xue needs surgery to repair her cleft lip and palate to ensure long-lasting health.
