Haocheng is a gentle 12-year-old with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. He lives with his family in a rural community where rehabilitation services and resources are limited. Since 2025, ICC’s Outreach Team has been walking alongside Haocheng and his family, providing rehabilitation support and essential equipment, including a customized wheelchair.

When you join ICC's Walk the Wall event, you help to bring vital resources and services to vulnerable families like Haocheng’s. Sign up today at https://fundrazr.com/wtw-usa-2026

We first welcomed Huanmeng into our Enquan Yuan family in August 2023. Since then, it has been a joy to watch her grow and thrive. This video was taken during her special education class, and Huanmeng approaches each lesson with determination and joy. When she first entered our care, she struggled with her hand-grasping ability, but through targeted therapy, support and Huanmeng's dedication, she can now hold a spoon and feed herself! We are so proud of her.

Shengsheng is a beloved member of our Family Partners Program who lives in the remote countryside of Hunan Province with his family. He has a rare disease that has affected his muscle growth and strength, impacting his mobility. A talented artist, Shengsheng expresses himself through digital drawings. We wanted to share some of his beautiful artwork with you here.
The first piece is titled "The Countryside Under the Sunset ." Shengsheng shared, "Under the glow of the sunset, the blue sky seemed even deeper and more beautiful. When I feel unhappy, looking at the vast sky makes me feel that it can embrace everything."
The second piece is titled, "The Young Rooster." It was inspired by a group of young chickens raised by Shengsheng's grandmother. Shengsheng shared, "The circle of yellow feathers around its neck makes it stand out from the others, along with its bright red comb...Because of the unique yellow feathers around its neck, it looks very different from the other black chickens. It is such a noticeable and special little character — both adorable and heartbreaking because of its gentle personality. "
The third piece is titled, "The Female Goose." Shengsheng described, "When it is happy, it sings “ga, ga, ga” together with the male goose... The goose is not only beautiful but also helps guard the home, so I like it very much. I think it is so cute, and I recorded it through my drawings."

At noon on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the young people at our Wansen Home gathered with teachers and caregivers to enjoy a festive meal—featuring, of course, zongzi (traditional sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves). The festival is celebrated each year with a special home-cooked feast, lovingly prepared by our caregivers and shared together.
