Our Needs
Costs of Care
Our biggest need is for financial support to cover the day-to-day running costs of the centers we operate.
We have four Special Care Centers and a total of more than 200 children in our care. We employ nearly 300 people in these units. Our general running costs are approximately US$250,000 per month for all the units combined.
New Hope Foundation is truly grateful for all provisions we receive. Below is a list of needed supplies that can be ordered and shipped in China.
Supplies Available in China:
- Basic food items like rice, cooking oil, flour, soy sauce
- Baby formula (any age but must be Nestlé brand)
- Milk powder – full cream (must be Nestlé brand)
- Laundry detergent
- Bleach
- Diapers (especially large and extra-large sizes)
- Baby wipes
- Cleaning fluids (tile, wood floor, glass, toilet, kitchen)

Please note: For sanitary reasons and the children’s preferences, fluffy toys and stuffed animals are not useful, nor are blankets needed at this time thanks to much generosity in recent years. Thank you for not sending these items.

Traveling to Beijing?
We are in need of travelers from the USA to Beijing to help bring in much needed supplies for our children. None of these supplies are “restricted items” and do not have to be declared at customs. The items will be mailed to you within the USA prior to your departure. New Hope Foundation staff will be at the airport to pick up the supplies upon your arrival in Beijing.
If you live in the USA and wish to donate items, would like more information about medical supplies for New Hope Foundation, or if you or someone you know would be willing to carry donated items to Beijing, please contact the Supply Coordinator:

Rebecca has coordinated donated supplies in the USA since 2001, shortly after meeting Joyce and Robin Hill. The Hills were in Tennessee with two orphaned children they had brought to have surgery there.
