On June 19, the leaders of Tianjin Women's Federation, Tianjin Women's and Children's Development Foundation, and representatives of SUNHOPE Charity Foundation, with heavy care, visited the home of Wang Guizhi (a pseudonym), a single mother in Xinkou Town, Xiqing District, Tianjin.
A group handed the large and small condolences to Wang Guizhi and inquired about her family's situation with concern. Everyone had heard of the deeds of this resilient mother before.
"You are resilient and self-motivated. Your daughter works in the city, and your son excels in both character and academic performance. It's not easy to cultivate two children into talents."
"If you have any difficulties in life, please tell us and we will try our best to help you. Tianjin Women's Federation, Tianjin Women and Children's Development Foundation, and SUNHOPE Charity Foundation are your strong backing."
The sincere words of the leaders of Tianjin Women's Federation, Tianjin Women and Children's Development Foundation, and the representatives of SUNHOPE Charity Foundation were like the warm spring breeze, brightening Wang Guizhi's heart. "Tianjin Women's Federation and caring enterprises have never forgotten us. Thank you all for your donations!"
Wang Guizhi, 53 years old this year, originally had a harmonious and warm family. However, life is unpredictable. In February 2015, her husband died of gas poisoning. In 2020, her mother-in-law was diagnosed with myeloma, and the high treatment cost made the family struggle. Bad news came one after another, but she kept her spirits up, took on the responsibility of raising her children and taking care of her mother-in-law, and struggled to maintain the family by doing odd jobs.
In response to Wang Guizhi's situation, SUNHOPE Charity Foundation quickly determined the assistance plan with Tianjin Women's Federation and Tianjin Women and Children's Development Foundation, and gradually implemented various assistance work.
During the condolence visit, Wang Guizhi said with emotion, "The help from Tianjin Women's Federation, Tianjin Women and Children's Development Foundation, and SUNHOPE Charity Foundation has made our family feel the care of society and given us more hope and expectation. We will work harder in the future."
Since its establishment, SUNHOPE Charity Foundation has always regarded deepening public welfare and charity and shouldering social responsibility as its brand responsibility. Its charity projects cover many fields such as donating money to help students, helping the poor and needy, disaster relief, and caring for the elderly. It has mobilized 144,000 SUNHOPE volunteers in the charity field, invested 61.29 million yuan in charity funds, and donated 172,000 books.
With social changes, single mothers like Wang Guizhi are no longer exceptional cases, and the difficulties she faces are a microcosm of many single-parent families. In view of this, since 2019, SUNHOPE Charity Foundation in Tianjin has jointly promoted assistance for the group of "struggling single mothers" with Tianjin Women's Federation and Tianjin Women and Children's Development Foundation. So far, it has been six years, and nearly 660 single mothers have been helped. The assistance is based on addressing the immediate needs of single mothers, providing them with urgently needed daily necessities. At the same time, tracking the living and development status of single mothers, discovering more profound issues, and coordinating other social forces to help them solve their problems.
In the past six years, the assistance program has not only brought tangible help to struggling single mothers, but also conveyed their positive and optimistic life attitudes to society, encouraging more people to overcome difficulties with their exemplary power.
