Tiny Hands
Throughout the developing world, children are cast aside by poverty, war, and the destruction of families. Orphaned, abandoned, and abused children often become drug addicts, prostitutes, or succumb to disease and violence. We find these children and place them in loving homes with carefully chosen parents.
Children's Homes
Tiny Hands International has been called to the orphaned or abandoned of South Asia. James 1:27 reads, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” We take great pleasure in serving forgotten and unloved children by placing them in loving, Christian families and giving them every opportunity to not only survive, but to thrive in their local communities. Tiny Hands currently operates children’s homes in South Asia. We do this work through our daughter organizations, Tiny Hands Nepal and Tiny Hands Bangladesh.
St. Jude Medical Research
The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago.
The budgeted daily operating cost of St. Jude is $2.2 million. Approximately 75% of the budgeted costs of St. Jude are covered by public contributions
