How You Can Help
We Need Your Help!
The Home of Hope Orphanages – China operate without any government financial assistance whatsoever; nor has the organization ever received any funding from the general Chinese society. Our sole means of operational support is individual donations from Western countries. We appreciate those who are willing to sacrifice each month to keep the “Hope Burning” for these lovely children!
Due to the negative downturn in exchange rates from foreign currency to Chinese Yuan (RMB), and to the economic situations in the countries where most of the Home of Hope support comes from, we are finding it more difficult to meet our monthly obligations to keep the Home of Hope orphanages operating as before. Even so we opened our third orphanage March 1, 2010 as we continue to try to do what we can to meet the demanding need of so many children.
As an example, in the past, $100.00 US Dollars would convert to over 820.00 Yuan (RMB). We now can only covert to about 660.00 Yuan (RMB) per $100.00 US Dollars. That is a loss of almost 20% just in the conversion rates.
Also, inflation has hit China hard. Day to day costs for food, clothing, utilities, medicines and education have increased substantially both impacting our direct costs as well as wage demands by our employees. At the same time our monthly support has decreased due to the economical downturns in most countries.
We need as many people of those who are able and willing, to help financially, so we can continue to serve these needy and so deserving children. It’s not just the LARGE CONTRIBUTIONS that help (they do help… but they come far and few between) but also the SMALLER AMOUNTS FROM MANY make it possible for us to continue. We rarely make this type of appeal on our website but felt this was necessary at this time.
