From Preemie to Preschooler!

 Newborn KX was born prematurely and weighed only 2 lbs 10 oz (1200g) when she was found in a village by an elderly gentleman who lived nearby.  As soon as she arrived at the orphanage, they called us to ask if we could help her.  


Because she was hypothermic and had very low oxygen levels, we arranged ambulance transport to send her to Beijing.  Little KX spent about a month in the NICU being treated for infection and complications of prematurity.  


Once she was stable, she discharged back to our baby home, where she has been doing very well.  


KX is just celebrated her third birthday.  She has grown into a beautiful little girl who is a bit shy but loves music.  She attends our early learning center for classes every day; her favorite is cooking class, but she eagerly participates in all of the activities.   



Right now she is still being cared for by the nannies in our children’s home, but when space is available, we hope to move her to our family model of care project.  

We are very grateful to all who have chosen to support us in this work.  Your prayers, financial support and donations of supplies are making a difference every day for KX and all of the other children in our care.
