Review for Miracle Foundation, Austin, TX, USA
I have been donating monthly to The Miracle Foundation since 2003 as child's sponsor. It is a wonderful way to give back to the world. Helping an orphan that may someday change our world....by knowing I have given them the proper diet, healthcare, socialization and education.
The organization gets better year after year....from it's humble, grass-roots beginnings to the formidable non-profit NGO it has become today. I have been with them almost every step of the way.
And going beyond just being a donor, I have traveled with the organization and worked at 4 different homes that they sponsor. That way I have seen first-hand, where the money is going and the great progress that happens with a good non-profit.
I highly recommend getting involved!

Review for Miracle Foundation, Austin, TX, USA
I have been involved with The Miracle Foundation since its beginnings over a decade ago. I sponsor an Indian child through the organization and I have traveled to India as an ambassador of TMF four times. I have spent time at 3 of the children's homes run by the foundation.
I am completely impressed by the way this organization runs their business. The vast majority of the money goes to the children and their care. Exactly where it should go! And these children and healthy, happy and well educated. It is amazing!
This organization always has a can-do attitude. If there is a way to make it happen, it is going to happen. From the proper caretakers to the fundraising to the grass roots, out ot the box creativity of working with the Indian government to help change adoption laws.
I am impressed from top to bottom with management, staff and volunteers.

When I traveled to India with TMF, I really thought I was the one "giving". But then I met these beautiful, amazing chidlren and came home realizing they had given to me.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Grow even bigger and take over more orphanages so there are many less poor, starving children on the streets.
