Little Red Scarf is in Lanzhou, Gansu province and provides financial support and encouragement to children suffering from congenital heart disease. In addition, they provide families with post-operative care and help the children sustain a healthy lifestyle. Maimai is a congenital heart disease child and in April 2011, with the help of Little Red Scarf, successfully completed the operation. Unfortunately, her mother also suffers from congenital heart disease. Because they missed the best timing of surgery it caused severe Pulmonary hypertension, leading to heart failure. This led to a serious problem in walking and hemoptysis. Medicine for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension is costly. Local doctors know that buyers are poor and can only afford cheap medicine. The doctor said: "The medicine is too expensive to treat this disease, so you can not afford it." In 2015, Mother's Day, Little Red Scarf’s US team raised money to help the family: Ellen Yuan $ 500, Henry & Lisa $ 800, Grandma Chu Fund $ 1050, RY $ 50, total $ 2,400 , Equivalent to 15,000 RMB. In 2016, DC donated $ 480 dollars, equivalent to 3,120 RMB, which continued to cover the cost of Maimai's mother's treatment.
We donated the money in three parts. In April 2015, we visited their family. The mother often needs to be hospitalized due to the serious illness. She cannot move or work. She thinks that she’s better dead than alive. We encouraged the mother to continue fighting. Her children are small and still need her. We must let them feel the warmth of home, and we also sent the 2,000 RMB subsidy to buy the cost of the hospitalization for the mother. In August 2015, Mai’s mother heard about the recent rapid development in medicine and perhaps even their own surgical opportunities. On August 12, we got Mai’s mother a free review with Dr. Tang and the University of Cardiology. When Dr. Tang saw the results of the final ultrasound, he regretfully said, “your body has not allowed you to surgery” and recommends “ to ease the symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath and, of course, to always see if there will be a change so she can do surgery. She should not give up just because of the results.” She replied, “I have to remain strong for my two children.”
Little Red Scarf bought Mai’s mother a portable oxygen machine and the treatment of pulmonary hypertension medicine, costed 3015.5 RMB.

Family Collection Voucher $480 equivalent to RMB 3,000. I hope the family can give Dongsheng a teeth checkup; the remaining money for the old couple themselves to see the disease. The dad often has headaches and severe dizziness symptoms; the mother has gallstones, but because the problem of medical expenses, she has not had surgery. We gave the donation in two parts. The first: On May 2015, the staff visited Dongsheng’s home to understand the actual situation of the family. The cash was in the form of 2,000 RMB to the family. The family, in order to express gratitude, got a brush to write a "thank you!" The second time: In early 2011, we gave the family 1000 RMB and hoped the family can have a good year. Physical condition: Dongsheng is 6 years old; the body is very good and can run or jump. He is in a large class. His kindergarten is only 3 km away from home; his father picks him up and takes in every morning and evening with a car. His teeth are now all black; his father took Dongsheng to the dental department to do a checkup. The doctor told them to pay more attention to oral hygiene. The teeth are fine for now since he is still a child.

Many thanks to TL’s 2015 donation of $800 (5000 yuan), which helped fund Rui Rui’s 2016 medical expenses.
We gave Rui Rui and her older brother the donation when he came to Lanzhou in February 2015 for a doctor’s appointment. In 2016, after receiving the donation for Rui Rui, we got in touch with her, asking how to best deliver the money. Rui Rui’s father's advice was to give it to Rui Rui around the New Year when she would go to Lanzhou for a check-up, as it wouldn’t be convenient for them to travel into town. We are looking forward to seeing Rui Rui next month, because a year has passed since we last saw her. In May 2016, when Rui Rui’s older brother and sister-in-law went to Xinjiang to look for jobs, it occurred to them that having Rui Rui stay at home all day away from school might cause her anxiety, so with their parents' permission, he brought her with him to Xinjiang. This was Rui Rui’s first time travelling a considerable distance away from home, and she was brimming with expectations. Her brother said that as she sat on the train watching the world go by, he could see the love she has for life. Her brother has lived in the rented Urumqi room for a week, and Rui Rui has begun to worry, telling her brother she is anxious to find a job. Rui Rui’s brother took into account his sister’s physical limitations and found her a job waiting tables near their rented place in a small hot pot restaurant. The first month consists of the training and the internship, and wages are lower; during the second month you transition to independent work, and wages can rise to 2000 yuan or more.

He said, "I am not a Christian, I am a pure Buddhist. I am not a farmer. I am just a merchant man, but I'm willing to donate this brinjal that I purchased from the market." And he said, "I want to continue to donate used clothes to your orphans in the near future." He asked me, "If Buddhist orphans come to you, will you accept them here?"
And I said, "We will accept them, one hundred percent. We do not have religious discrimination or racial discrimination." He said, "I am very happy for your good works. You are doing good for these orphans. I will tell some of my friends about your organization." All our orphans enjoyed brinjal curry for the whole week. We thank God for sending even unbelievers to provide for the poor orphans. Before the rooster crows, here's a chance to help others grow.

 Yi Hong had a lot of fun at LRS Summer Camp. Special thanks to the loving people who donated $320 USD (about 2,000 RMB), which will be used for buying medicine for Yi Hong’s grandmother. The grandmother takes care of Yi Hong and his younger sister. She is 66 and in poor health.
LRS staff visited Yi Hong in September 2015, the year after he had his heart surgery. When we learned about the family's situation, we sent 2,000 RMB to them. In 2015 Yi Hong was 10 and was recovering well. The scar was also healing well. Yi Hong seldom caught colds anymore. He attended the summer camp held by LRS with his sister. The new semester began in September, and Yi Hong and his sister went to grade 2. This is their family's situation. Yi Hong’s father works in the city in order to pay off the debt as soon as possible. After a year of hard work, they paid 20,000 RMB. The house was paved, and they also built a new kitchen and walls. In the second half of the year, his father came to the construction site in Lanzhou. The harvest was not good, so his father hoped to earn more money in the city. Yi Hong and his sister lived with their grandmother, who had to take medicine all the time. His father hopes everyone in the family will be fine and that life will be better. When Yi Hong and his sister came back from summer camp, they could speak Mandarin to their father and grandmother. They had fun when the grandmother could not understand Mandarin. His father said the children changed a lot and became more obedient. His father said it is worth the hard work to see the two happy and healthy children. Thanks again for the care and donations for Yi Hong.

Special thanks to PC who donated $160 USD to Bao Ping’s family in 2015 and to DC who donated $300 USD in 2016. The money will enable Bao Ping’s mother to take the medicine she needs for the year.
Bao Ping underwent heart surgery in 2011 with support from LRS. A year after the operation, he went to school when he was 16. In the autumn of 2015, LRS staff visited Bao Ping’s family. The villagers were busy with the harvest. We later learned that the elevation is not good for the crops. The locals can only grow barley and beans. The transportation is not convenient, so the villagers rarely travel to purchase agricultural products. Since 2011, the local government has launched a project that would move the villagers to a convenient place and solve the problems of healthcare, communication, education, and income generation. In 2012, the villagers began to move away. By 2015, there were more than 10 households still left. Bao Ping’s parents were in bad health and needed to take medicine. Life was still hard for them. We sent 1,000 RMB to help the parents buy medicine.

September 4, 2016: The Long Awaited Phone CallFinally, Xiejuan's father received the long awaited phone call from Dr. Liu, who invited Xiejuan to check in to the hospital the next day, because the specialist was on the way for her operation. It was arranged to have a specialist from Beijing to perform the surgery, due to Xiejuan's complicated heart condition. Her father felt great about the news; but on the other hand, he was nervous for the inevitable risks. September 5, 2016: Xiejuan Warmly Welcomes LRSWe went to meet Xiejuan early in the day. "Xiao Hong Jin (Little Red Scalf)!" she yelled out, even before we arrived at the door. Obviously, our communication efforts paid off. She accepted us, and behaved upbeat. September 11, 2016: Operation DayThe operation lasted eight hours. Xiejuan underwent a long operation, and her father endured tortuous waiting. We were all nervous until her father delivered the good news later in the day. The operation was successful, and she was transferred to the ICU for monitoring.

We extend our appreciation to JTL, who donated $300 USD in 2016 and $800 USD in 2015 to support Honghong's family. We transferred the donated money to the family to help pay for Honghong's tuition and her family's living expenses. Post-Surgery Visit in 2014Honghong had her heart surgery with support from LRS in 2014. Her parents had poor living skills and had difficulty making a living, which kept the family in poverty. We had a post-surgery follow up with the family in March 2014. We learned that her father was doing some freelance simple labor work, earning about 5,000 RMB annually. Her mother stayed home to take care of Honghong's two younger brothers. We noticed the older little brother had trouble opening his right eye. We were told that he was born that way, and had never seen a doctor for this problem. Poverty Relief Care in 2015
We were very happy in July 2015, when we learned that Honghong was accepted into high school. While she studied in town, her shared rent, living costs, and school fees would be 10,000 RMB each year. For Honghong to get a high school diploma would be a great asset to help the family's income. Therefore, we entered Honghong's family into the Adopt a Family program to provide poverty relief for the family. Our faithful donor JTL made the full donation for Honghong and her family, so Honghong could get her high school education and help her family.
In order to support her family and two little brothers financially, Honghong decided to quit school and go to work at an factory.

(Yue Shi Tuan is a nonprofit organization in the county of Qin An. They work together with the local people and businesses to help poor children get into school, to take care of seniors, to provide severe illness aids, etc.) Recommended by our partner Yue Shi Tuan, we finally selected the following 5 schools to give away winter clothes: Yang Po Wan Elementary School and Gao Wan Elementary School in Wang Pu Township, Wu Zhuang Elementary School and He Li Elementary School in Ye Bao Township, and Song Gou Elementary School in Guo Jia Town, totaling 209 people.
