Heartbridge really needs your help! The Healing Homes team has been working hard to bring this essential program up to full sponsorship and meet our monthly budget.

Don’t you love this photo of Jacob taking his first steps at our Heartbridge Pediatric Healing Unit? Look at the joy and excitement on that face! Jacob was born with an abdominal issue requiring immediate emergency surgery, which LWB provided. Following his operation, he was moved to our Heartbridge Unit outside of Beijing to recover, and all of the nannies quickly fell in love with his sunny personality. He has now been discharged into our foster care program, and we are hopeful that this year will find him with a permanent family of his own!

You don’t have to know Chinese to find out how little Samuel is feeling. He is one happy little fellow, and it’s right there on his face for anyone to see!
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts. — Janice Maeditere
Whose heart could not be opened by the hope and happiness written all over Jackson’s face? He is certainly bringing joy to everyone at Heartbridge this winter!
Emma is a constant delight. Her bubbly personality shone through from her first days at our Henan Cleft Healing Home (HCHH) and has become stronger with each passing day. Needless to say, she gets a lot of attention from the nannies and is the life of the party at HCHH!

Meet Melanie, one of our “auction babies” who had surgery for a serious heart defect in June. Currently 18 months old, she keeps life interesting for the other residents at Heartbridge while she recovers and gets stronger. Melanie is a bit of a drama queen and likes to keep everyone on their toes wondering what expression she is going to pull out of her hat next. Perhaps she is a great actress in the making!

Yes, it’s another one of our beautiful Heartbridge babies. If you were there in person, you’d need nerves of steel to keep from scooping up little Kaleb for a hug and a kiss!
