Press Release Summary = Each day, an estimated 140 million orphaned children around the world are struggling to survive in conditions we would consider reprehensible.

Press Release Body = Leavenworth, WA - On a bitterly cold winter day in Eastern Europe, young orphaned teenage girls are gathered around a single hotplate in a dingy, cramped dormitory room. They are bundled in all the clothes they own. Those that have them are wearing winter coats. They are hoping that the heat generated from the hotplate and their bodies will be enough for them to sleep warm tonight in this unheated building. They can never return to the orphanage, the only home many have ever known. In another room, an orphan girl lies crying on a bed. Her tears come from more than just physical pain. Not only does she have a fever, a bad tooth infection, and no money for the hospital, she has nowhere to turn, having no one in the world to help her.
These are real events witnessed and detailed by Steve Cassidy, President and founder of Orphan's Hope, a not-for-profit organization based in Leavenworth, Washington, dedicated to helping orphans in poverty rise above their dire situations.
Each day, an estimated 140 million orphaned children around the world are struggling to survive in conditions we would consider reprehensible. Most of these children don't own enough to fill a small overnight bag. They are malnourished, have little to no education, lack good hygiene, and face survival rates that have many dying before they reach their twenties. Numerous governments, already struggling financially, lack the ability to care for orphans. Many orphanages release children at the age of 15, leaving them to survive on their own. In post-communist countries, statistics reveal that over 60% of teens turn to crime or prostitution to survive, because they have no real life skills, education, hope or outside help.
Orphan's Hope is giving such orphans the opportunity for a real future. Transition homes and mentoring programs are designed to teach orphans basic life and business skills, giving them "a vision and resources for a future with hope," according to Cassidy. "BOSSdev (St. Clair Shores, MI) is a key supporter."
"Watching a fifteen-year-old learn to use a fork and knife, because he was never given a knife in the orphanage, is amazing," continues Cassidy. "Many orphans lack such basic skills when leaving the orphanages. But giving them the tools to prepare for high school and university, teaching them to shop and cook, how to set goals and plan for the future, a future they would not have otherwise experienced.that's truly rewarding. Every [contribution] that BOSSdev gives is significant and transforms lives."
