I want to help the children in China!?

Question

I want to start my own help.. I want to try and have people donate a teddy bear/doll, a blanket (child size), and bottle of water. I want to send each child in a hospital this gift ( all three.) Its not much, but I was thinking maybe if they had something to hold on too they might feel a little better. I feel really bad about what has happened and all I want to do is cry. What I need to know is what hospital or relief can I send these packages too? I don't want to send them to anyone but the children themselves. Thank you.. OO and one more thing. Any ideas as to how I can get people to donate these gifts to me without them thinking im fake?

Answer 1

you may be wasting your time and money by trying to donate directly, I've been to China twice and have seen the corruption first hand.

If you really want to donate, send your money to the Salvation Army or the Red Cross....

Better yet, locate an adoption agency that handles international adoptions (Children's Home Society of Minnesota comes to mind),  they would know how to contact a person in China that could forward your donation without lining the pockets of an official that yearns to be rich and drive his own Jeep Grand Cherokee.
