This organization helps over 250 children every year, as well as educates young women about sexual education and parenting to help reduce the number of abandoned children. The family is raising money to help Shamida. They are asking fellow Tiger Families to consider making a $5 - $20 donation/family towards the cause. Alternatively, if you would rather donate items, the orphanage is also asking for Preemie diapers, formula (powder), or wipes as they took in 8 babies this week, contact Danielle through GoFundMe.
