Farewell to a Legacy of Love: LWB’s China Healing Home
Problems and solutions. So much of what we at LWB have done over the years has come about as a result of identifying a problem and finding a solution. This is exactly how our China Healing Homes program came to be 18 years ago, when our foundation was just a few years old. The Story […]
Read MoreMighty Marisol’s Story of Hope
Today we look back at a very special girl who we came to know as “Mighty Marisol” from our China Medical and Healing Homes programs. This tiny child fought her way through a very complex heart defect and serious post-operative complications that threatened to take her from the world. She is a survivor, and we […]
Read MoreNew Healing Home Education Program in China
In 2023, we were able to make the gift of education a vital new part of our Healing Home program in China.

Read More20 Years of Hope: Emily
While visiting an orphanage in southern China in 2021, LWB’s CEO and founder Amy Eldridge encountered an unforgettable 16-month old girl we called Emily.

In 2018, we first met Ting as a participant in our Life Skills Camp in Beijing, China. Our Life Skills Program focuses on older children who will soon be “aging out” of orphanage care in China.

In late 2003, when Love Without Boundaries was just a few months old as a foundation, we were approached by a medical team that wanted to set up a cleft surgery mission to China. We never in a million years would have attempted something as complex as sending a team of physicians to a foreign […]

A beautiful little girl came into this world in the summer of 2017 in a rural community in eastern China. Sadly, at just a few weeks old, she was abandoned into orphanage care — most likely because she had been born with a cleft lip and palate. Thankfully, the director at this baby’s orphanage had […]
