Love Without Boundaries

Once upon a time, there was a newborn baby boy who was found at the gate of an orphanage in Fuling China on July 31, 2006. He was left with no note, and had a tumor on his lower back. The doctor estimated his birthday to be July 21, 2006 and he was named Bao Jin. Bao Jin was loved by his nannies, but was very limited in his movement due to his tumor. His development and growth suffered because of this too. The orphanage cared for Bao Jin the best way they knew how to, but knew that he would need more help if he were to thrive - help that they could not afford to give him. So the orphanage director contacted a charity named Love Without Boundaries to see what help could be given for this sweet boy. LWB was able to arrange for Bao Jin to travel to Shanghai with his caregiver to have surgery to remove this tumor. They were also able to pay for all of the travel costs and medical costs, so that this little boy could have a chance. One year later after the surgery, this baby is now a little boy who loves to throw toys, tackle his daddy, torment his sister and give kisses to his mommy.

LWB is now holding its annual auction on EBay to help raise funds for future operations like the one Ethan received. Please go here and bid on an auction item right now!
