In addition to our annual World of Hope Gala beneficiaries, Childvision is striving to reach out in a variety of other ways by initiating humanitarian aid projects throughout the year. Below are two causes for which there is a great deal of urgent need. Please consider donating to support either or both. 100% of funds donated through Childvision will go directly to the cause!

China Earthquake Relief

We are all aware of the inconceivably devastating earthquake that struck China on May 12th and the subsequent aftershocks that seemed endless. News reports, although vital, cannot begin to fully convey the agony, despair, grief, and loss that people in the affected areas must be going through. Thousands of lives lost, families separated and displaced, children orphaned, buildings and infrastructure destroyed. Thankfully, all of the children in orphanages that FTIA has a working relationship are safe, but many other orphanages were damaged, the children and caregivers left in tents and without necessary supplies. Humanitarian aid will be needed on an ongoing basis for an indefinite length of time to help the affected orphanages rebuild and replenish needed supplies. Many have expressed their desire to provide aid to the children and orphanages in the affected areas. Childvision is coordinating an opportunity to help during this time of crisis!

Please click the “Donate” button below or mail a check payable to “Childvision” with “China Earthquake Relief” in the memo line. 100% of donations made in support of this effort will go directly to the China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA) Child Caring Project. The CCAA has announced that these funds will be utilized with great care to provide help directly to the orphanages in the affected areas. We also expect to eventually receive a report from the CCAA detailing the use of our funds, which we will report back to you.

Guatemala Foster Care Support

Many of you know that international adoptions from Guatemala have been plagued with countless difficulties, changes, and delays over the past many months. At this point in time, no new international adoptions can be initiated in Guatemala, and children that are still in the process of being adopted are lingering in foster care for an indefinite and expanding length of time. Families Thru International Adoption (FTIA) alone has over 75 children remaining in foster care in Guatemala. Foster care has historically been one of the unique characteristics of Guatemalan adoption, providing children individualized care and love, monthly medical exams, and family socialization. But this level of care costs money and requires supplies. Part of adopting parents’ international fees cover much of the cost of foster care, but this is based on the period of time that cases typically took to process in the past. Now, adoptions are taking months and months longer, with no additional funds coming in. FTIA and the attorneys they work with in Guatemala are doing everything in their power to ensure the children who are waiting continue to receive the best foster care, but they need your support!

Please click the “Donate” button below or mail a check payable to “Childvision” with “Guatemala Foster Care Support” in the memo line. 100% of donations in support of this effort will go directly toward providing tangible and needed supplies - items such as formula, diapers, and/or monthly medical exams - for the children in foster care through FTIA’s Guatemala program. Please help us ensure the children who are caught in these delays continue to grow in a healthy, loving environment until they are united with their adoptive families.
