Update

Lindsey was hospitalized with an infection a couple of weeks ago, but is recovering nicely. Her cleft repair is scheduled for next month, so let's hope she can stay healthy until then. The good news...I am putting a check in the mail today for $1,045! This completely covers the cost of her surgery with a little extra thrown in for her nanny care. Thanks to all who contributed. I will be sure to post updates on her as I receive them.

Meet Lindsey! She is a new baby at Anhui Cleft Healing Home and will be ready for her cleft lip repair in May.



This year, Mayah's Fund is proud to be teaming up with CaSondra Shim Photography and the result are some spectacular images for our spring fundraiser. Below is a sampling of the notecards. There are 8 all-occasion cards per set, arranged in a white gift box...perfect for Mother's Day gift giving or personal use. Please consider purchasing a set for $20 or make a donation in any amount. Every dollar raised will go toward helping Lindsey to get this life-changing surgery!

Shan is home!

The Goodmans arrived home with their son on April 24th! They send a HUGE thank you to everyone whose donations helped to bring Shan home. As you can see, he is happy and adjusting well to mom and dad and 4 siblings!

We did it!

Thank you for helping Mayah's Fund to raise over $1,300.00 for Shan's adoption expenses. In a miraculous turn of events, Shan's family was able to raise the total $17,000 needed to bring him home. Looks like they will travel the first part of April. Can't wait to post a picture of this family finally united!

Meet Shan, an adorable 3-year-old boy. In spite of his limb difference he is otherwise healthy, happy and living in a foster home in Weifang, China. Shan was matched with an adoptive family 2 years ago and since that time they have been penny pinching, working odd jobs and applying for numerous grants in anticipation of bringing their son home. Unfortunately, they are still several thousand dollars short, and have only months before their travel approval will expire. Read more about his story HERE.

Help us to bring Shan home by purchasing a set of all occasion notecards. Cards feature original photgraphic images on brilliant white 3.5 x 5.5 cardstock. $20 for a set of 8. 100% of the proceedes will go toward Shan's adoption expenses. Thank you for your heart for orphans with special needs!

Miss Smiley!

Gail was sent to the hospital for her surgery this past Monday. After two other failed attempts at doing the lip repair due to illness, Gail FINALLY received her surgery on Wednesday. This photo was taken the next day, Thursday and she was already smiling!




Thank you again to everyone who donated money or helped out with the fundraiser. You will forever be a part of this little girl's life!

Hey, our little Gail made the news! Well...a post on LWB's blog, at least. Read the cute story they posted about her HERE
