This month’s featured child is
Yi. Yi is one of the older children in our Group Home project. He
was 8 years old when he arrived in our program in 2005. Yi was
born with a severe cleft palate and a heart defect. This May, he just turned
18 years old, and so we have been lucky enough to see him grow and become a
young adult!
Yi is an extremely outgoing boy
and his usual response to any question is ‘okay!’. He loves chatting with
anyone he meets. And he is especially fond of one of the other group home children,
Xiang. They both attend school together and enjoy spending time together. Like
any other teenage boy, Yi enjoys having fun with his friends!
Last September, Yi started
attending a vocational school. His focus of study is Building Automation Systems,
which provides him with skills relating to heating, lighting, and ventilation
systems. After Yi completes his vocational training, he plans to look for a
job. Our wish is to provide him all the support he needs to live a fulfilling
and independent life.
Yi still needs one more cleft
repair surgery. This surgery will cost around 6,000 USD or 30,000 RMB.
Please consider partnering with us to provide Yi this last surgery he needs. We
hope to raise enough funds to provide him the surgery this summer.
