20 Years of Hope: Dawson

Posted on November 16, 2023

When Dawson was just a baby, his father passed away, and he spent his childhood being raised by his struggling single mom. In 2021, Dawson turned thirteen years old and his mother remarried. The new family unit of mother, son and step-father proved to be a poor fit. From time to time, Dawson found himself […]

20 Years of Hope: Hayden

Posted on November 2, 2023

In early 2017, tiny Hayden came into the care of our former healing home in Uganda needing considerable TLC. He was sickly, weighing a scant 5 kilograms (11 pounds) at 13 months of age, and his parents were nowhere to be found. The nannies in the home got right to work loving on this precious […]

Ten-year-old Rena was worried. She’d been left in charge of her three little brothers for over a week while her mom went searching for work.

At the beginning of 2023, a little boy named Theodore came to the attention of our Cambodia team. He was just eight years old and living all by himself.

In the summer of 2017, a beautiful five-year-old girl named Carolyn first joined our Rangsei preschool in Cambodia.

A little bit on the boisterous side, Carolyn sometimes needed to be reminded to speak more softly, […]

A darling little boy whom we call Archie was born in 2017. Sadly, his birthfather disappeared just a few months after Archie was conceived, and nine months later, his birthmother left Archie when he was just eight days old.

Three-year-old Cyrus came to our attention in the fall of 2019 after being surrendered by his father in Uganda. This beautiful little boy had multiple disabilities due to cerebral palsy.

Posted on May 11, 2023

In 2006, our China director visited a small orphanage in central China. It was a small institution that was just beginning to do adoptions, and conditions were quite stark. LWB supporters helped build a safe water system, purchased badly-needed supplies like new cribs, blankets, and toys, and began a nutrition project as many of the […]

20 Years of Hope: Lee

Posted on May 4, 2023

In 2019, a charity working in the child trafficking field asked for our assistance in helping a 10-year-old boy named Lee escape his current situation. Our team in Cambodia tried their best to find relatives he could safely return to, but they were unsuccessful. Once all avenues for family reunification were exhausted, Lee was placed […]
