After communicating with the village chief, Jian’ai Art started to collect old clothes at the end of October. 452 sets of old clothes were collected, of which 243 sets are children's clothes. Clothes were sorted according to their sizes. A thick coat, a pair of pants, a sweater and a pair of long johns were included in a set. All clothes donated had been sterilized in the hospital and were sent to Pifu village on November 4. Acknowledgement goes to following units for their support.

Original article written by Xinjun Chen, translated by Maggie Li, edited by Yanyan Zhang  Chongqing Jian’ai Art is a paper-cutting company, supplemented by arts production and sales, and a new social enterprise that supports people with hemophilia. My name is Ren Jiankang, and I was diagnosed with hemophilia when I was 6 years old. Taking medicines and injections became the norm. The family could not afford fruits or snacks in order to pay medical bills for me. I wore the clothes from my elder brother. When I attended primary school, my father had to explain my illness to the teacher every year and asked for my absence from PE class. Nevertheless, I could not attend half of the classes in a semester.
Chongqing Jian’ai Art is a paper-cutting company, supplemented by arts production and sales, and a new social enterprise that supports people with hemophilia. Most people with hemophilia do not know that there are others in the world who are suffering the same fate. They live in their own world, and understandably so. They cannot go to school, learn any life skills. or get involved in work or any social activities due to their disabilities. They just stare at the sky, imagining other people’s world. We hold a paper-cutting training course for people with hemophilia and other disabilities. The purpose is to teach them a skill and help them see the hope of life. Every person with hemophilia has a strong heart within. They are eager to be accepted and forge a meaningful existence. They need to be helped, but they do not want to just receive without giving any effort. They desire to work hard and earn the fruits of their labor. We hope this will be many of their first steps to being integrated into society. We are dedicated and on our way to care for those who are needy. Please join us and help people with hemophilia integrate into our society - after all, each of us is a part of this world.
