Blessing Hands' Students
Seeking College Scholarships |
Dear Lucy,
It is up to you.
If you choose one of our student to sponsor, they will go to college. If not, many of them will have no other way to pay for their college educations.
Four out of the twenty-five students, who applied for our college scholarships, have now been accepted into the colleges of their choice. We will start to feature them in our newsletters in the rank order that our committee assigned to them. We had them interview in person, so we could post their videos for you.
We will feature two per newsletter. We have the goal of giving them all $500 scholarships. If you want to give half of that, we will try to find another sponsor to share a student with you.
Sincerely,
Betty Cutts Blessing Hands |

| Give Amy and Beth a Chance to Go to college. |
These two girls have dreams of going to college. They have been accepted into the colleges of their choice and only need your help to fulfill their dreams.

Amy Huang 黄天燕 with her admission letter |
Amy Huang In her own words
My name is Amy, and I am from Pubei High School. There are five people in my family: my parents, younger brother and sister, and me. My parents are both farmers. They work hard but only earn little money. My brother is in senior high school, and my sister is in primary school.
Now I want to go to college to become a nurse. Then, I can help my mother because she has vertigo, and I can help more people who are ill. This is my dream, but my family is poor.
My father says, if we believe something is true, we should hold on to it. I will hold on to my dream. I find that helping people is a happy thing, and I will hold on to it. I will study hard to realize my dream. Huang Tianyan 黄天燕

Beth Huang In her own words My dream is to become a doctor. I hope to do more for my family and society, save more patients, and help them alleviate their pain. When I was a child, my mother suffered from a rare blood disease, but my family was very poor. My father needed to borrow a lot of money from here and there to save my mother. However, unfortunately, when I went home from school, my mother had passed away, and I didn't have time to see her last face and talk to her. We were very sad. In order to bring us up and let us go to school to study, father worked himself too hard. Two years ago, my father began to bleed and was diagnosed with liver disease. However, he just took some medicine and continued to work hard every day. His liver disease became more and more serious. Now my father needs to go to the hospital for treatment. Father doesn't have a job and needs to take care of my grandma, because my grandma fell down and broke her leg last year. Therefore, I hope to have the opportunity of your support. Because my family is still very poor and can't afford my expensive college tuition, therefore, I write this letter to you. Where there is a will, there is a way. Beth Huang Xiuping 黄秀萍 Beth has a younger brother and two younger sisters. She wants to be an engineer and has been accepted into Quangxi Engineering Institute. Her scholarship video is below. You can give a scholarship to Beth by writing to this link or giving on line here
