Ashley’s father was killed in a coal mining accident in 2004 and a short time later, her mother ran away and abandoned her. Ashley and her younger brother, Thomas, had nowhere to go and no one to take care of them. The two children were taken to live with their grandparents. Their grandmother was very sick with diabetes and their grandfather was also in poor health, but they did their best to care for the children by trying to work in the fields to earn money. The family struggled to survive.
Ashley and her brother came to Living Hope in late 2009. Ashley shared with us that their mother never loved them or showed any affection toward either one of them. Because of this, Ashley had to learn to be independent of a very early age and take care of Thomas.
Since coming to Living Hope, Ashley has flourished. She studies hard and makes good grades. Ashley is very friendly and outgoing. She likes music, singing, dancing, and drawing. Her difficult start in life has not taken her joy. She loves to laugh and is always willing to help others.

At one time, our Emma lived with her mother, father, and baby brother in a very poor village. Her family suffered a tragedy when a huge storm destroyed their home. This left Emma’s mother emotionally scarred and she began to act completely irrationally. She had to be medicated and kept under constant care. Eventually, Emma’s father could no longer handle the tremendous family pressure and decided to commit suicide by drinking poison. By the time doctors arrived, it was too late.
From that point on, Emma’s grandmother took both of the children in and became the main supporter of the family. She would go to the fields to work all day in order to be given food for Emma and Tyler. Grandmother had no child care so she had to lock the children in the mud house alone all day until she returned. Emma, just a baby herself at 3 years old, had to care for her little brother. This went on for some time until we were told of their suffering. We brought Emma home to Living Hope in April of 2010. Then in September of 2012, we were able to bring Tyler home as well.
The grandmother is so very thankful for the love and care for her precious grandchildren. She now has hope for their future. Emma is able to visit her grandmother when school is on holiday. Our Emma is pure love, a beautiful girl both inside and out! She is now in high school, and she sure will have a beautiful future.

Keira’s mother ran away from home, causing Keira’s father to break down mentally and suffer from severe mental illness. He became unable to support himself, let alone his child. Keira’s grandparents suffer from high blood pressure, heart disease, and several other illnesses which require much medication. In addition to being a low-income family, Keira’s
father’s treatments incurred significant costs, forcing the family to depend on extended relatives and friends for assistance.
Before joining the kids at Angels’ Hope Home, Keira was shy and somewhat unwilling to communicate with people. Within a few weeks, she warmed up to everyone and began showing many excellent qualities, especially in her academics. Keira is cheerful with much athletic energy and her academic level is notably excellent. Her favorite subject is Math and she has a special talent for reading poetry. She is not very fond of Language Arts class.
A few of Keira’s favorite things are bread, volleyball and the color yellow. She is a delightful child and we’re so happy that she is a part of the Living Hope family!

Liz and her younger brother, Silas, lived a happy life until both of their parents were killed in a car accident on January 5, 2012. The children were sent to live with a disabled uncle who had no source of income. They were only there for a short time before being brought into our care.
On March 14 of that same year, Liz and Silas were welcomed to our Fangshan Training Center. Being the protective older sister, Liz was a little hesitant at first. Of course she eventually relaxed and learned to love her new brothers and sisters. She respects her house parents and is very independent.
Liz is a diligent student and manages her study time well. This will help her tremendously as she enters high school next semester. She will be in 10th grade. In her free time, Liz loves to retell fairy tales or other stories she’s heard and she’s known to do this in a very animated fashion. Sometimes she’ll even make up her own stories and tell them with great enthusiasm. Outside of her passion for storytelling, Liz is a timid but sweet young lady with a heart to help others.

Sarah often missed her family and would get teary-eyed when talking about her past. In a matter of months, however, we saw huge advances in Sarah. She began doing well in school and felt happy in her new home, always smiling and making friends easily. She not only caught up quickly, but she began to excel! Sarah enjoys singing, drawing, and playing basketball. She is friendly and always willing to lend a hand. In the summer of 2010, while with the Living Hope Angels Tour in the United States, Sarah had the opportunity to be baptized!
