Blue Sky Healing Home

Latest Update December 2019

 

Dear Friends of Blue Sky, 

 

Sixteen years have passed since we first opened our doors and hearts to helping orphans and children from poor families in need of medical care in China.

 

With your loving help and support, we have had the privilege to care for more than 200 children with medical conditions requiring surgery, therapy and sometimes just tender loving care for them to thrive.  More than half of them have been adopted through the years into loving families all over the world and thanks to social media, we have been able to watch some of them grow up !  Many friendships have been formed between adoptive families, volunteers, donors, doctors and nurses, and everyone has done their part to make a difference in the lives of these children.  

 

We would like to inform you that Blue Sky will be taking on a slightly different path as we move into 2020.  Due to government regulations and restrictions, we will no longer be providing in-house care for children at our foster home.  Instead, our core team in Beijing, with Dr Maria He at the helm, will be taking on a liaison role to assist orphanages and poor families with medical treatments in Beijing. This includes care management (pre and post treatment), fundraising for medical fees, transport and accommodation assistance for accompanying caregivers and families.  Blue Sky Healing Home will in essence be losing it’s physical “home” but the “healing” will continue, and we hope to help even more children receive the medical care they need.

​

Currently we have 2 children in hospital for surgeries. ZJ (former Blue Sky resident) and DJ (child from poor family) are both born with Apert's Syndrome, and have fused hands as part of their congenital condition. They are undergoing finger separation surgery for better hand mobility.
