Dear A Life A Time donors,
In our last report posted in Febuary 2016, we proudly introduced you our newly established Boston Trauma Fund (the "Fund") and updated three successful fundraising events hosted between October 2015 and Feburary 2016. We wanted to update you that South Boston Banch has hosted two more art auctions in April, one in Andover and one in Cambridge, to raise funds for the Fund.
On April 10th, 2016, Alice Yu, Meira Xu, Christie Yu, Melinda Yu, Yifei Zheng, May Zheng, Joanne Zhou, and Brandon Xu of the South Boston Branch hosted a very successful art auction at the Pike School in Andover, Massachusetts to fundraise for severe burn victims Tingting and Hanhan, two children from China.
Tingting lost a leg to a television explosion, and then an automobile accident, and Hanhan suffered severe burns to the face as a ten month old. Volunteers of the South Boston Branch hope their love and efforts will help Tingting and Hanhan recover from their physical and emotional trauma.
On April 24th, 2016, South Boston Branch members Jia Yan, Cory Zhou, Christie Yu, Selina Lin, Melinda Yu, Ryan Lin, and Becky Zhou organized another successful art auction at the Cambridge Center for Chinese Culture.
The funds will go to supporting Tingting, seven year old severe burn victim and amputee from China. Parents of students at the Chinese school were moved by Tingting’s story, and contributed by buying pieces of calligraphy to support her road to recovery. The South Boston Branch hopes its volunteer’s efforts assist Tingting and her family’s medical and living needs during her stay in Boston.
Thank you to the volunteers for spending the time to ensure those less fortunate have an opportunity and future of health and happiness!
