Review for Love Without Boundaries Foundation, Saint Petersburg, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been a volunteer for Love Without Boundaries Foundation since December 2006. The work done by this charity over the years has been amazing. So many lives changed by medical procedures that have saved lives and put them on the path for adoption. Even many who will not have the opportunity to be adopted have been helped nutritionally and educationally. I donate to very few organizations that I trust and LWB is one of them. An incredible amount of the work to put these programs into practice is done by volunteers. They are an excellent example of service and accountability.

Review for Love Without Boundaries Foundation, Saint Petersburg, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have one daughter that was helped by LWB's education program, and I have been a volunteer for Love Without Boundaries for almost 4 years. It is a privilege to help so many children through my work and know that through the volunteer efforts of many others as well, a lot of children are helped medically, educationally, emotionally and physically. I think LWB does an amazing work.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Through my volunteer work, I see that formula and other items are ordered and sent to children in orphanages in China.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Find more ways to find funding so that we can help more children!

Review for Love Without Boundaries Foundation, Saint Petersburg, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am the mother of 6 bio kids and two daughters from China. I heard about LWB when we decided to adopt an older child from China. The child we were considering was in an orphanage that has LWB programs. I started sponsoring a child in the education program. We adopted our daughter a few months later and I got to visit the orphanage. After I returned, I decided I would like to volunteer for LWB and so I have been a volunteer since Dec. 2006. I was an assistant in the education program at my daughter's orphanage briefly and later became the Foster Care coordinator for the program at her orphanage. While I had this position, I again visited the orphanage and I got to visit the foster care children also. Recently I have taken on Orphanage Assistance Director and this program is so AWESOME... I love my work, I love what LWB does for those kids. I love that if a parent like myself has a child from an orphanage (My second adopted daughter's orphanage) where LWB doesn't have programs, they can contact LWB and we can do a project to get something for that orphanage..whether they donate $25 or $2500....we can make a difference. I love that we had a recent donation to a specific orphanage for $54 .... We asked the orphanage, and they needed a heater for the baby's bathroom. Think about how nice this will be on little cold bottoms in the winter. Such a small amount of money can make a difference...I am proud to volunteer for this organization. So many children have been, are being now, and will be helped because of LWB and the sponsors who make it possible for us to do this caring work.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

many orphanages in China. We have helped many and will continue to help more.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

be even busier than I am now. I think they are doing a great job.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

I love working for them and it is very fulfilling to see the good that is done.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

kind, caring and dedicated people.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

do amazing things. SO many surgeries could be done. When these surgeries are done, the orphanages are encouraged to put these children up for adoption and so these children not only have a chance at LIFE, but also a chance at a forever family.

Ways to make it better...

we can help more children.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

The economic times because if donations go down, fewer children can be helped.

One thing I'd also say is that...

I believe in LWB. They are awesome.
