It always amazes me how the cost of a nice dinner monthly can change the course of a child's life. Blessings Hands, and Betty Cutts in particular, understands that helping children in need further their education can change the family dynamics forever in a positive direction. Betty has accomplished incredible work in establishing Blessing Hands and she does it all with grace and humility. I am so proud that my charity dollars support this wonderful nonprofit organization.
Blessing Hands has given me the opportunity to intern with them and I could not be more grateful. The children that this group supports appreciate any gift that you can give. So join me in supporting their futures.
I have been a fan of Betty Cutts for many years, but never more than I am for her work with Blessing Hands, Inc. Her love for children and her desire to see children have the opportunity to achieve the purpose they were created for has shown me the most profound love of God to be His Hands as helpers to encourage children to reach higher by giving them access and opportunities to enable them to transform their dreams into reality. Very little of our donations goes toward salaries, as Betty works tirelessly to make sure the donation goes where it's intended. I trust that "my grain of sand" is used wisely. I have been a volunteer, prayer warrior, and donor to Blessing Hands since its inception in 2005, and heartily recommend it as a worthy non-profit. Sincerely, Phyllis Nickel.
I received a newsletter from Blessing Hands today, and I was truly moved by an open letter written from a student to his funder, where he thanked the funder for the educational support which he had received over the years. The student said that he would shortly graduate from his university and would be able to pursue his dream of becoming a software engineer. The student gave a summation of his educational progress, which went from him writing with pencil at the beginning of his studies, to being fully computer literate today. This student now looks forward to a prosperous life in a career that he loves and he ended his letter by making a commitment to one day helping others who are in need.
To me, there is no greater gift that you can give other than the gift of love to a child. This is what Blessing Hands offers to those wishing to make a real difference in the world. Now, I feel blessed because I have the opportunity to make a difference as well.
Blessing Hands is truly an amazing organization. They have help countess children and villages have a blessed life through education, clean water, and a multicultural experience.
This is the future of China and the Chinese served by Blessing Hands have seen great Christian models and amazing, giving Americans.
I started donating to Blessing Hands since 2007, since I first met Betty in my church in Lexington, Kentucky. I was touched by what she had done to help those students and their families in China, even they are on the other side of the earth. I was also surprised knowing that a little money can make difference in those students' lives.
In recent years, with the cost of living increases in China, I donote more than before. This is fine with me. I have realized that I don't need to go to restaraunt every week, I don't need to buy expensive clothes. There are so many ways saving money. If I go to a vacation in Florida and Mexico it will cost me one thousand dollors, but if I don't go to this expensive vacation, I can save the money to help about five students through "Blessing Hands" . While I continue donating to "Blessing Hands" every year, God continues blessing me and my family, I never had any issue with finance.
Today I received the sharings from two Blessing Hands students who got help from Blessing Hands since middle school or high school, now they are almost completing their college study. I am very touched by their stories, especially knowing both students are now helping others in the same way as Blessing Hands helps them.
Thank you, Blessing Hands, for continuing the good work year after year!

I started donating to "Blessing Hands" about six years ago. What Betty has done really inspires me to help those in need. Betty consistently puts her love, her time, her gift and her heart in helping those in need through this nonprofit organization. I really admire her. I believe what this nonprofit organization have achieved has great impact to those students and families who are poor and in need in China. I will continue contributing to "Blessing Hands" as much as I can.
Blessing Hands started with high school scholarships to the Peasant Farmers children and poorest of children in Southern China. It has expanded to the needs of these schools by now providing water purifiers, ambulances, medical personnel and the list goes on.
Betty Cutts gives tirelessly of her time and energy enrolling nationals as well in her goal of getting these children through school. They now provide university scholarships as well. I have met and become friends with several of the recipients of this charity. Following them as they are now college graduates with good jobs sending money back to their parents and siblings to help pull them out of the extreme poverty felt by so many rural areas of China.
Amazing results for the investment.

In 2008 while visiting my son, an English teacher in Qinzhou, China I entered his high school lunchroom to find a small cluster of students around an American woman with a translator. She was interviewing students who had asked for a scholarship to pay their tuition cost so they could remain in school. Their families were too poor to pay the modest fees charged by the public school system in China. As she qualified each student for a scholarship another would then sit down before her and present his request. The process seemed very straight forward. When the last student was through I introduced myself to Betty Cuts and was treated to a friendship that has lasted and lasted. I discovered she represented Blessing Hands Charity which, at that time only granted scholarships to high school and college aged students.
The funds that provide those scholarships come from donors who will correspond with the recipients and receive updates on their progress through the school year. When I learned that the Charity had no paid staff and all the funds went to the students I began to understand the dedication and commitment Betty had to provide the most benefit to each student possible. Since our first meeting the scope of the Charity has enlarged to provide pure drinking water to rural schools, medical aid to children of the most rural areas of China and this may only be the beginning of what I see as a total commitment to the peasant Farmer’s children of rural China.
Over the 6 years I was in China I supported several College students with scholarships through their university years and now follow their careers as they have left behind the peasant life they started in and have become productive participants in the Chinese ascension into the Global Economy.
The vision that started Betty on this amazing trip has continued to grow as her base of supporters pass on the word to others of what great things come from participation in Blessing Hands scholarships and projects.

This charity was truly born out of love for others. Their mission and vision have such a great impact in the lives of the children and community there, as well as in the lives of those of us involved here. We are really blessed to have this opportunity to serve and be involved. What strikes me as a great feature is that this organization is truly there to serve, from top down, everyone volunteers their own time and money for others. There is so little overhead so the money goes to where it is supposed to go: to the children. This is a wonderful example of how "Love does", just go and do good for others... no hidden agenda, no coveting of glory, no greedy people... just kindness in action. It is through the little ripples touching the lives of others that we make a difference. I will continue to encourage and support this great group of people.
I met Betty at a conference where she came up to me and asked for help. I listened to her story about how Blessing Hands helps poor Chinese children have an opportunity for an education.
A few months later Betty and I connected and spent a weekend completing their system and loading in all the students and Donor information. Betty was tireless in the mission to complete the task. We accomplished her goals so she can communicate with all the students and sponsors easily.
Betty and the Blessing Hands team are dedicated to their mission and persistent in making a difference in the world. I'm happy to help.

We sponsor three children through Blessing Hands: a college student, a middle school student, and an elementary school student. The amount of money Blessing Hands collects for each is very small, yet provides so much to these children. They all write letters to us, and they seem very motivated to learn and so appreciative of our sponsorship. Blessing Hands seems to encourage them to reach out to others in their area, and to pass their blessings along.
I have known Betty Cutts for 40 years, and I have great respect for all she does. She cares for each child, and visits China often to check on all facets of the charity. She is a very intelligent woman of great faith, integrity, and compassion, and she is a great friend to so many.
in an era when many non-for-profit foundations extract immense expenses for operation, it is a rare treat to find one as selflessly devoted as blessing hands aka betty cutts has with financial integrity, using extremely limited resources, impacted so many less fortunate lives. Many of these less fortunate have acquired an education they otherwise would never have received, and now are contributing to society. My brother and i also operate a non-for-profit in Hong Kong, and have known this organization since 2002
I have known about Blessing Hands and their mission for a number of years now. At first, I didn't know that much, and I didn't get involved, but I paid attention to what I heard about them. Finally, I went to a couple of events where Blessing Hands had an information booth. When I really looked over the material, I realized how much difference they were making in the lives of poor, deserving Chinese kids, and I also was amazed at how much they could do with a small donation. I have since made several donations, and I intend to do more in the future. I feel that for a given amount of money, a donation to Blessing Hands can make more difference in the lives of people than any other nonprofit group I am aware of. A really small amount of money can result in a child getting an education... first through middle and high school, and if they do well, through college. And after this, the recipients will most likely help others in their family and their community to also get educated.. so the results just snowball!
Blessing Hands also provides water purficication for schools in poor, rural areas--literally changing the lives and the futures of all in those communities.
If you don't have unlimited wealth, but you want to help others, there is no other organization that I know of more deserving of your support --- a small donation really does make a difference -- and when you donate, you will know exactly what your contribution is going for. If it's for a student, you will receive genuine communication from that student.. your help will change their life, and their gratitude will change yours !
That was my first time to be a volunteer in a nonprofit organization. I feel good about this experience and think that Betty is really a nice person. She is pretty energetic and because of her, I fall in love with to be a volunteer! I really hope that Blessing Hands can make big difference.
I am a minister at a large church in the southeast who has worked with Blessing Hands. I've got nothing but praise in the way they handle their donor communications, their operations and especially the incredible work they do in China. Their work has changed lives in several provinces through educational scholarships and water purification. They continue to grow and have a vision for expanding the ways to help those in need.
I can't say enough about Betty and Blessing Hands! Her passion, integrity, and drive to make a difference in peoples lives is amazing. I have every confidence that any support given to Betty or her organization makes a direct and effective impact. Personally I know from first hand experience that she makes this a full time, every hour of every day mission and devotes enormous time and resources to Blessing Hands. We appreciate you Mrs. Cutts and hope to see you thrive long into the future. -Wes A. Holland, AAMS, Edward Jones Investments
Although we have known Betty C. and Eric Z. less than 2 years, our hearts are as theirs for those who need a blessing hand. We were honored to help bless a college student through this good group, and have been in touch with the student by email and intercession. We ourselves hope to directly help college students in Asia, and plan to go very soon as a family to serve. Our hearts Are as theirs.
Based upon what I've observed during the years we''ve been donors, this is a ministry that makes maximum good use of donations, keeps donors well iinformed, and is a great witness for Christ in a country that is difficult to do Christian ministry.
I met this guy Eric at the local gym. Our first conversation was your basic hello, my name is.. & we shook hands. Over the next couple of months we got to know each other a little better & one day i asked him what he did for a living. He said he was involved with a charitable group called Blessing Hands & enjoyed it very much. I asked what it was about & he told me. At this point I was kinda bracing myself for the, can you..... but it never happend. A couple weeks later I felt led to ask Eric about this again & wanted to know how we could help. He graciously gave me some scenarios of what would be most helpful. Folks, I would like to say this, from the moment i met Eric he never hinted for help in anyway!! We are very fortunate & blessed to help these guys & will continue to do as much as we can. From the folks at RubberNeckin Tshirts, Thank you.
Blessing hands help children who need financial support to continue their education in rural area of Guangxi, China. Love to those children is so profound, this charity has been helped children there for 7 years. They did great job.
I have been associated with Blessing Hands in various capacities (former Board member, volunteer, donor) for 5+ years. It is clear by its mission statement that it serves a humanitarian need. It is very hard for me to pick which of my roles has been most rewarding but I think the role of a volunteer has made the biggest impact on my own personal life. I was fortunate to be able to travel to China last year with Blessing Hands. While there I was able to teach health related classes. What a joy and a pleasure to be part of that experience and to see first hand how the lives of hundreds of children and their families are so positively affected by the work of Blessing Hands.
I have known Betty for 50 years. I know her servant's heart. I know the money donated is used for the purposes intended. My husband & I have sponsored 3 high school and college students. A little bit of funding for their education in China can help improve the quality of their lives & those of their families so very much. Betty is very careful in her selection of assistants in China to help her maintain the intent & quality of BLESSING HANDS. I particularly appreciate the way she has those sponsored provide some service to others. It is an excellent habit to promote.
I have known president Betty for 14 years. She has helped me, my husband, and many of the other students around us while we were back in school. She has supported us both spiritually and materially. There are so many charity/nonprofit company out there. I'm not sure if they all use their money properly. But Blessing Hands is the organization that I know for sure that my money goes to the right people. I trust Betty and her organization, you can too. I'm proud of that i'm a donor of Blessing Hands. Joy
I was a volunteer to begin with because this is a charity helping Chinese in my area in China. I saw how much effort tthis charity have made to help the children and the people in China. After a year I bacame a board member and wanted to do devote more for the charity because I really experienced the happiness of helping others. So far Blessing Hands already help hundreds of children and made a great difference for their lives. We also help Chinese people by other projects like water purification and medical projects. This is a wonderful charity and I am so proud that I am one of the board mambers!
It was such a pleasure to assist Betty and her staff in Guang Xi Provence when they were there looking for candidates to receive her high school tuition scholarships. Over the past 4 years here in China I have tracked the lives of several or these students that came from peasant Farm families and would have ended up on the farms doing stoop labor the rest of their lives. One is ready to graduate college now in the top of her class and another is in his second year studying to be a border patrolman. They are so bright and this opportunity has changed their lives in ways that can only be measured in reduced life struggles for them. I love the work and efforts this program represents and the incredible changes it makes in the children's lives.
