URGENT NEED- NOW IS THE TIME

You may not know this child...



But you know this baby, 7 pounds at 4 months old

His cries of hunger still resonate in my heart despite his amazing come-back!



This article and fundraiser DIRECTLY impacts babies we saw, held, and loved at America World's transitional home in Addis. Please help! If I could post pictures of these babies, I would!

URGENT NEED: Forumla Needed for Malnourished Babies in Ethiopia



Famine and poverty are increasing the rates of malnourished infant babies in Ethiopia. Children's HopeChest has worked with the America World Adoption Agency (AWAA) on projects in Ethiopia and Russia over the past five years. This request came to us from their transition home where they are receiving severely malnourished babies into their care. This month, in honor of mother's day, I want to raise $12,500 to provide specialized baby formula to this transition home for these malnourished babies. (Please put "Ethiopia Formula" in the note section of the donate page.]



To kick this off, a friend of Children's HopeChest has offered a matching gift for the first $500 we receive toward this project.
