Seeing you stand up with hope is what motivates us!

Story

What Are We Doing?

Together with our team your donations will be fuelling a relentless effort to help youth with various bone diseases in low socioeconomic regions of China. With patients suffering from osteoporosis and equinovarus, their education and potential remains stunted as they attempt to sprout into adulthood. But through human generosity, the JR team believes we can inspire these kids as proof of a global support network dedicated to their care. Although JR non profit is a fledgling organisation, we have partnered with the Henan Charity General Federation, giving your donation direct access to patients.  

Hope is the essential part of this operation. Together we will provide not only funding but also the necessary inspiration required for these kids to stand up into a future they want for themselves. Hope feels magnificent to be a part of. Hope is generosity that enacts change for a lifetime. Hope is what JR non profit is enacting.  

Why Donate To Us?

An estimated 5% of China’s population lacks basic health insurance. Even for those with basic levels of health insurance, treatment is often expensive and still not accessible. 

This places a great emotional and financial burden on poorer families and especially in less economically developed areas. Moreover, these are most likely the families which depend on strong healthy bones for their livelihoods. 

Most bone conditions either weaken bones significantly increasing their fragility or disfigure them, limiting the patient’s ability to execute even simple activities as simple as walking. These patients will be limited in physically demanding jobs including agriculture and industry, exacerbating their poverty. Your donation will directly go to hospitals and doctors in an effort to make treatment more attainable!

Our partners 

Being a fledgling start up, we have partnered with Henan Charity General Federation to truely make an impact. Special thanks to Professor Zhang Zhongning, Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University who has made much of this possible. 

“Whether it is playing tennis or swimming, when you are enjoying the joy brought by sports, have you ever imagined that some people have difficulty walking normally due to deformities in their physical development, let alone carrying out physical activities like normal people. Some of these people have problems with skeletal development, and some have problems with the nervous system, resulting in deformities of the limbs. The most common of these deformities is equinovarus or club foot. Due to excessive flexion and inversion of the soles of the feet, the soles of these people cannot touch the ground, and the back of the foot is on the ground when standing. Such deformities make it difficult for these people to stand, walk unsteadily, and fall easily. This caused great pain to them both physically and psychologically.”
