From Cold Floors to Comfort, You’re Making it Happen
6 Kids Sick. We’re So Close to Helping Them All.
Hello Build A Better Orphanage Community,
This week, we received heartbreaking news.
Four girls and two boys have come down with malaria.
Doctors traced it back to the cold, damp floors they were sleeping on. No mattresses. No warmth. No protection.
We moved fast to get them help. But we’re still short.
Here’s the good news:
Because of your quick and generous support, several children are now off the floor and sleeping safely.
That’s a big win. You made it happen. And it’s working.

But a few are still waiting and now, some are sick.
We can’t let this spiral. Not when we’re this close to finishing the job.
We are just 9 donations away from helping our last kids without mattresses!
Here’s what’s needed:
$125 = Full care for one child (mattress, blanket, covering supplies, clean water access)
$60 = Mattress
$35 = Blanket
$30 = Clean water repair fund (per child impact)
$500 = Malaria meds for 6 kids
Every gift helps restore dignity, comfort, and health.
28 children are still bracing for the rainy season.
And without clean water, they’re at even greater risk.
The storm hasn’t passed.
But neither has our hope.
Thank you for believing in these kids.
Let’s finish this—together.
With urgency and gratitude,
BJ Thompson
President, Build a Better Us
