Orphanage needs our help!!

In 24 hours we all raised $2660.00 for Dao orphanage! How fantastic is that!!!

THANK YOU to all of you for your kindess and generosity!!!

Inside Dao Orphanage


As most of you know, our family has a charity called Two Homes One Heart...I emailed our contact in China to see if the orphanages we support in Yongzhou City, Hunan were hurt by the terrible storms and weather affecting China right now. We have heard that 2 of our orphanges were without power for several days but now have it back and are doing okay. One of our orphanages is in desperate need and they have asked us to PLEASE help them with warm clothing and food for their children. Due to the storm and the huge need, food is hard to buy so the prices are much higher now. We are trying to raise $1000 in the next 24 hours so I can wire it to our contact in China. She will make sure the orphanage is supplied with baby formula, food for the older children and WARM clothing. Weather reports say this is going to continue for several more days so it's very important that we move quickly to help these vulnerable children and the wonderful nannies who care for them!!!

We need 100 people to donate $10 in the next 24 hours to help these children!!! Please go to here and click on the "Donate" button. If we raise more than the $1000, it will still go to the many needs of the orphanages.

Please post this on your blogs so we can get the money raised in the next 24 hours!!!!!

Thank you!!!

That is so super, Tammy. I just read the blog now and missed the opportunity to donate. Next time, I guess. :)
