An Orphan's Wish

An Orphan’s Wish, founded in February 2008 and staffed by volunteers, is committed to caring for some of the “least of these”: orphaned, special needs children in China. With your financial support we are able to be His hands and feet, providing these children with medical attention, therapy, education and an abundance of loving care. As we watch them learn to trust that all their needs will be met, smiles emerge, confidence blossoms and little personalities flourish… this is where the real life change occurs. It is our goal that we give each child roots to grow and wings to fly.

An Orphan’s Wish is a registered 501(c)(3) organization and 98% of all donations go directly to the care of our children. This means that for every dollar you give, 98 cents goes directly to the children in our care to give them every opportunity to reach their full potential. We hope you take the time to meet these very special children, and become a part of the undeniable miracles happening at An Orphan’s Wish.

new arrival in the Clubfoot Unit

We don’t expect to begin her casting right away, as we think she’ll need additional time to become comfortable in her new surroundings. But we look forward to witnessing all the changes we are sure will take place for this little... 

Prize-day for tidiest room winners

Boys room winners and Girls room winners went out for their special treat the other day… Lunch at KFC and then shopping with 10 RMB each to spend. Everyone had fun trying to decide what to order! They were all so excited to be heading out for for a treat!! We weren’t able to fit the wheelchairs in the van, so we had to improvise. Walmart had one wheelchair which Jimmy got, as he is the heaviest and Tina had to sit in a shopping trolley. She didn’t mind, all she wanted was to find the...
