Help Save Our Orphanage: From Business to Charity.
Donation protected
A few years ago, I traveled to Africa with a mission: to help set up an orphanage. I lived in a tent and worked tirelessly, hands-on, to ensure the creation of a safe and loving environment for both the children and the staff. For many years, I have funded this orphanage myself, doing everything I can to maintain its warmth and security.
Recently, the government contacted me with an ultimatum: turn the orphanage into a profitable business or shut it down. This would mean that each child adopted could potentially be "sold" for profit, a notion I find deeply troubling. Such a notion is fundamentally at odds with my belief that adoptions should be driven by love, not profit. The very idea of commodifying these innocent lives threatens to undermine the core values and principles upon which our orphanage was built.
The only other option is to transform the orphanage into a charitable organisation. This way, we can continue to provide a loving home for these children without compromising our values. However, this transition requires significant funding.
At our orphanage, we believe that every child deserves a loving home. We cannot, in good conscience, adhere to a model that treats children as commodities. Therefore, we are committed to transforming our orphanage into a charitable organisation. This transition will enable us to continue providing a nurturing environment where children can thrive without compromising our ethical standards.
However, this significant shift requires substantial funding. We need your help to make this vision a reality. The funds raised through this GoFundMe campaign will be used to cover:
- Legal and Administrative Costs: Establishing the orphanage as a registered charity requires legal consultations, documentation, and administrative processes.
- Operational Expenses: Ensuring that our daily operations run smoothly, including food, clothing, healthcare, and education for the children.
- Facility Improvements: Upgrading our facilities to create a more comfortable and safe environment for the children.
- Community Outreach Programs: Expanding our reach to provide support and resources to families in need, preventing child abandonment.
Why Your Support Matters?:
I know times are tough for everyone, but even a small donation of £5 can make a huge difference. I have always been reluctant to ask for help, but this situation is critical, and I have exhausted all other options. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to preserving the essence of what makes our orphanage special. By supporting this campaign, you are directly contributing to the well-being and future of countless children. Your generosity will help us:
- Maintain Our Values: Ensure that adoptions are driven by love and not by profit, keeping the welfare of the children as our top priority.
- Create Stability: Provide a stable and loving home for children who have experienced significant hardships.
- Foster Growth: Offer educational opportunities and resources that empower these children to build a brighter future.
