When you give to ECHO, you have no idea whose lives you are changing forever! Today, if you looked at little Linlin from Luoyang City, China, you would never know the pain this pretty little girl has been through. Six years ago, when she was born, her parent’s dreams were shattered. Seeing the severe facial deformities of their newborn baby (who was born with a cleft lip and palate), they were overcome with sorrow and gave her away to another family. Two months later the foster parents returned her, overwhelmed by Linlin’s deformity. As the little girl grew, she was continually teased by other children and unable to speak, because of the severity of her cleft palate. Then someone told Linlin’s parents about ECHO sponsored surgery and their lives were forever changed. “She is so beautiful now and able to speak,” Linlin’s mother excitedly shared, with tears in her eyes. “Thank you! I do not need to worry now.”
