Let’s call ‘time-out’ from out busy lives to reflect on what we have. I’d like to introduce you to a worthwhile charity that my wife, Sandi, and I are involved, in.

Our youngest son, Kevin, was born in China with a cleft lip and palate. We brought him to the United States when he was 18 months old and he was repaired here. Looking at him today, you can’t tell that he was operated on.

Many children in China aren’t so lucky and one reason is that they never get enough nutrition to gain the weight they need to be eligible for surgery.

Love Without Boundaries is changing that. Love Without Boundaries is an international organization of volunteer who are changing the lives of children in China. Now, this organizatin is building a cleft home, where children will be able to go to get the nutrition and attention they need BEFORE their surgery. Because it is run by volunteers (and Sandi spends many hours working for LWB, so I know it’s legit) the overhead is extraodrinarily low. More money, coats, food, medicine, etc goes directly to the children.

So, as you reflect on what you have reason to be thankful for, and if you are looking for a legitimate charity doing terrific work ‘on the ground’ for children, visit the cleft home site and consider making a donation.
