Kyrgyzstan Food Donation Update

To all of our families that contributed to our food donation drive,
We raised $7500 for food donation for the orphanages in Kyrgyzstan this past Spring. Unfortunately due to the instability in Kyrgyzstan we could not locate a reliable channel in which to assure this donation would reach the children. After multiple delays we were informed that the food shortage had been resolved. We then asked reliable sources about what were unmet needs of the children in the orphanages. We were informed that there was a critical need for wheelchairs for disabled children to help their mobility. We requested the Frank Foundation to assist us with this project. In our prior post I have posted the Frank Foundation grant proposal, which identified the specific children to benefit from our donation. Thru your generous donations we have been able to purchase 30 of the 50 requested wheelchairs and we are in the process of arranging delivery. The first five have already been shipped. When I reflect on what has been special about this year I think of your donations and willingness to assist those children in need. Thank you for your assistance. We were not able to purchase all of the wheelchairs so if any of you wish to contribute to this project please send your donations to Adoption Options specifying the wheelchair project. Happy Holidays!
