So, I started helping out with their website and we are sending boxes of babyclothes regularly... but they need a bit more this time.
Starfish is moving to a new home. The residents of the apartment building were not that happy with the fosterhome occupying three apartments and housing 50 children! Amanda de Lange, the founder of Starfish has found a new facility but it needs a LOT of work:
There are some volunteers and hired Chinese men working there now and they really want to move in before Christmas...... it looks like it will not be finished by then though. And this means they will have to move the babies to an unfinished building. This breaks my heart, I just can't stop thinking about it. If I could, I would be in China right now to help, but that's not possible at this moment. The only thing I can do is let as many people as possible know about this and about the effort to raise money. What an awesome christmas gift it would be for those babies to move in to a decent home!
So please go to http://www.crowdrise.com/starfishnewhome/fundraiser/starfish-china and donate! Every dollar is welcome! Skip Starbucks today and donate a dollar to Starfish. I hope we get a lot of people donating one dollar.... we can make a difference together!
