Brittanys Hope allows you to make a difference in the life of an orphan, Special needs orphans around the world. There are multiple options you can choose from, all donations are used 100% toward making the lives of these children better and or to help find them a family to love. I have chosen sponsorship of a little girl who has had more tradgedy in her life than most of us are blessed enough to never endure, yet she is a bright, courteous and giving child. She lives in Mom House now with other children like herself. Moms house is sponsored by Brittanys Hope and aids in the care of these children both physically and spiritually. I recieve letters from her and we are able to send her gifts in addtion to our sponsorship - our choice. It gives us great joy to be able to help one of these special children. I encourage anyone reading this to visit Brittanys Hope web site to learn of the many ways this awesome organization is changing the life of orphans, one child at a time.

Brittany's Hope is an organization of such integrity. They offer personal support and give all the money to the children and facility itself. It is not an abstract bureaucracy; when I called, I spoke to a daughter who had been adopted by the family who founded the organization. They do fantastic work with orphans whose outlooks are very bleak in Vietnam and cannot be legally adopted.

Hello, I volunteer for Brittany's Hope on a semi-frequent basis. Their agency is fulfilling a great need for families who wish to adopt a special needs child. I've worked in the adoption field for several years and don't know many agencies that specifically grant money to families wishing to improve the lives of a special needs child.

I have not experienced the results of the organization because I have not adopted a special needs child, nor have I met any families who have used Brittany's Hope. Despite any first hand experience with the results of the agency I have read many stories about families who have used Brittany's Hope

There is not much I would change about Brittany's Hope. I would however like to see them expand and be able to help more families.

How could anyone hold back tears while watching the Brittany's Hope Walk of Love ?!! The walk resembles a miniature Olympics procession - laughter of children and adults waving flags of the nations from which the children had come !!!
The Brittany's Hope Fooundation strives to give special needs children from around the world the loving families and secure homes they deserve.
It was a joy for me to serve on the board and help select the children to receive grants to aid in their adoption. Only when I looked at pictures and resumes of more children than we had funds did I feel the grip of sadness. Even with the endless hours fundraisers, contacts, and planning sessions monetary resources were limited.
I congratulate all those who never considered our mission a "problem" but rather a "CHALLENGE" to find health and happiness for precious children !

continue the momentum as the foundation has grown from a small group of volunteers with a dream to highly qualified individuals working endlessly to achieve the mission.
I have volunteered for Brittany's Hope a couple of times and it is very fun and rewarding seeing the kids with their families; especially during the annual Walk of Love!

More support to help more children worldwide
Brittany's hope is definitely on the top of my list for most relevant and needed non-profit organizations in this country. What makes this organization absolutely amazing, is not only their mission, but the people who have helped develop it's mission- in memory of those who were unable to carry it through on their own. Every person working for brittany's hope exudes enourmous amounts of trust, honesty, integrety, love, generosity, and tolerance, which is also carried out in daily life.

This May I will be participating in my second Service Learning Trip to Vietnam through the sponsorship of Brittany's Hope Foundation. The first trip was amazing and because of the organization and contacts that Brittany's Hope Foundation has in Vietnam, the group was able to perform a tremendous amount of service in the country. We built cribs, planted a garden and trees, and most importantly, interacted with many children. I was amazed at how well-organized the trip was, every detail was planned and all our time was used efficiently.
For a short period of time I attended meetings with Brittany's Hope Foundation regarding their annual Walk of Love campaign. The people who work for the foundation are fantastic, friendly people. They all are genuinely interested in promoting awareness of and raising money for the special needs children around the world.

I really appreciated the results of Brittany's Hope Foundation when we spent a day in the Cam Rahn orphanage, House of Love, which is entirely sponsored by Brittany's Hope Foundation. This particular orphange, though the most removed orphange we visited, had a water purification system, full bathrooms and a basic kitchen. The children were extremely HAPPY and you could tell that they were well cared for and loved. Improvements continue!

Though I wasn't expecting it, after meeting and interacting with the children at The House of Love I decided to sponsor a 12 year-old girl, Ly. This has been a great experience and I am looking forward to continuing to interact with her through Brittany's Hope Foundation.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
Great! Made me realize how easy it is to communicate with others even if you don't speak the same language. It made me appreciate even more the many blessings I have been provided.

I have been a volunteer with Brittany's Hope for several years and am continually amazed with the ability of this organization to touch the lives of special needs children and orphans in meaningful ways. I have met some of the children who have been brought home with the assistance provided through Brittany's Hope and I have talked with other volunteers who have participated in volunteer trips to projects in Vietnam and Ethiopia. Their stories are moving. Brittany's Hope has a wonderful, dedicated staff and does a great job of seeing that your donations are spent with purpose and impact.

I have had the opportunity to meet some of the children and families who have received assistance from Brittany's Hope, and am touched that I played a role in making this happen. Meeting a child who might still be sitting in a foreign orphanage had it not been for Brittany's Hope is overwhelming.

I can't think of anything the organization could do to improve my experience.
Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
I think that we can be hesitant to donate to organizations that are doing work in foreign contries, because you're not really sure whether your donation is getting to the target populations. Because of my volunteer with Brittany's Hope, I have been able to see and experience first hand the amazing work they've done. I can see and know that my donations are helping children.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
It made me feel like I could make a difference if the life of a child and that I can be part of something much bigger that what I come in contact with here in my hometown.

Brittany's Hope does so many wonderful things for abandoned children around the world. I was lucky enough to assist them with their Sunflower Children project which provided essentials for orphans who aged out of the system and were being set out on their own. We were able to provide over 400 children with clothing, hygiene products, first aid kits, blankets and other important items for their survival. I was very touched by this project and the numerous other projects that they pioneer for the benefit of orphans everywhere!

The bags that we packed will be going to Vietnam and will undoubtedly help children transition out of an institutionalized lifestyle. This project will help so many kids who don't have parents to support them through life.

Touch more orphans by expanding and adding projects. Brittany's Hope literally changes the world a little at a time, with additional resources they could help defeat the orphan crisis.
