20 Years of Hope: Oliver

Posted on August 3, 2023

Baby Oliver was born with Down syndrome in 2016, and his little heart was failing. Hope was also failing for his devoted parents as they tirelessly sought treatment for their beloved son. Oliver and his impoverished family touched many hearts in the LWB community when we ran a series of blogs on him and his […]

20 Years of Hope: Jackie

Posted on July 27, 2023

Teenage Jackie had been suffering from a heart defect her entire life. She had been diagnosed with a large ASD (atrial septal defect), a hole in her heart that should have been repaired when she was much younger. Because their parents were not able to care for them, Jackie and a sister were living with […]

20 Years of Hope: Twins Max and Matthew

Posted on July 20, 2023

In early September of 2010, a rural orphanage in Henan province called us about a tiny, five-pound baby who had recently been abandoned.

20 Years of Hope: Raven

Posted on July 13, 2023

Little Raven was born in India in April 2020. Her parents were thrilled at the birth of their first child, but their excitement quickly turned to panic when they took her to her first check-up at 15 days old. Doctors discovered a hole (a ventricular septal defect, or VSD) in Raven’s heart but reassured the […]

20 Years of Hope: Megan

Posted on July 6, 2023

Megan is from one of the rural villages where we work in Cambodia. When Love Without Boundaries first set up projects along the border region with Thailand in 2016, she became part of our high school education program. In the impoverished area where she lives, the graduation rate is extremely low, as many kids must […]

20 Years of Hope: Cayden

Posted on June 29, 2023

In February of 2015, we received a call from an orphanage who had a baby in severe distress fighting to survive. He had a large laryngeal cyst on his neck and was struggling to breathe and swallow. We immediately took him to the hospital and named him Cayden. Following surgery and treatment for a nagging […]

Why Cleft Lip and Palate Need to be Repaired

Posted on June 27, 2023

Just one year after Love Without Boundaries was organized as a charity in 2003, we organized our very first cleft trip to China. During this first trip, over 50 babies and children born with cleft lip and palate were healed by a team of American medical professionals who generously donated their time and expertise. This LWB model […]

20 Years of Hope: Cui

Posted on June 22, 2023

In 1986, a tiny baby named Cui was born with a very wide bilateral cleft lip. As a result, her birth parents abandoned her in a rural field shortly after she came into the world. Thankfully, a man passing by that day found Cui bundled up near the dusty road. When he saw the tiny […]
