An Awesome Cause...
Love Without Boundaries is an incredible charity. It is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that was started by a group of parent to provide care for orphans throughout China. The organization provides medical, nutritional, foster care and educational support to children in orphanages and foster care in China. They have provided thousands of surgeries/procedures to children that otherwise would have died in China. Because of their efforts, these children have not only been given a second chance at life, but they have been given homes. After these children receive the critical help needed, they can be placed with families wanting to adopt a special needs child. As well, they provide food and formula to the country's poorer orphanages. They provide educational materials and means for the older children to be able to go to school and even scholorships for children to further their educational goals in college.
I know several families that have adopted children who received heart and cleft surgeries through Love Without Boundaries. Some of these children would have never lived to be adopted if it were not for this organization. You can find the link to their website on the sidebar to check them out. The reason for my posting this today is that they are in the Facebook Challenge and are so close to winning the first place $50,000.00 challenge. If they win this, 10 children will be able to receive the heart surgeries they so desperately need. They have won many of the daily challenges at $1,000.00 but what a difference the first place prize would make.
The Facebook Challenge is really easy and doesn't require a large donation in order to help. You just have to create a Facebook account and donate a minimum of $10.00. LWB gets credit for each unique donation...regardless of the amount. As of 9:17 am, cst, LWB is in second place for the daily challenge and the 50 day challenge. Second place is awarded $25,000.00, which would be great too, but I would love to see them win First. You can get directly to their Facebook cause at the following link....go check it out. Your $10 could make a HUGE difference in a child's life.

Also on the above link at the bottom of the page there are multiple links to LWB videos. Below is the link to one of their blogs...there are some really sweet pictures on here of children that they have been able to help. There is one little guy at the bottom that has just gotten his new leg - oh, his face just melts my heart!!
