I'd like to see some more back-story too >.<
It's sad, but it's difficult to trust just anything nowadays.

The little girl on the pictures is Hanyi. They are a little outdated. She is now seven years old. She loves jumping rope, cats and her favourite colour is orange.

Friday, February 22nd, 2013, she received severe third degree burns when the house burned down. She and her parents live in China and can not afford the surgery and care.

Ever since we've got the news, everyone in the family gave what they could to help pay for her care.
Because it wasn't enough, we started selling our belongings, and tried to find more jobs, giving away our savings.
Our family is only a small family, and we aren't very wealthy, but we managed to get almost $20,000 ourselves, but we are nearly out of resources and ideas.
We have a week left, until March 11th, to get the remaining money. We really did not want to have to try get the remaining money this way, but we have no other choice left.

The amount of money the fundraiser was started for is the minimum we need, hence the odd number.
Our remaining items that we are selling will not be removed from auction sites, and we will not stop trying to find more jobs now that this fundraiser has started.

But if you could please spare something, anything, to help to get the last bit of money, it would mean the world, and the gesture would be treasured always.

Thank you so much.

well close enough. It's still for RuYi.

Here's her post on it from DeviantArt :/

RuYi has more than enough of my trust to warrant such a relatively small contribution.

Best of luck on raising the remainder of the money.

At first I had the same reasons to be suspicious (even though I know you hito). But knowing Ruyi from here since a long long time I have no doubt my money goes to a good place.

I wish all of you the best and I truly hope this is the start of a recovering path.

I just got home after working 17 hours straight when I saw the goal was reached.
For a few minutes I couldn't do anything but stare at the bar that I never thought would be filled.
There are no words to describe how much this means. How grateful we are.

Ever since we got the news we did everything we could, work as much as we could, sell as much as we could.
We were more than willing to give up everything we had, but wasn't enough. That last bit was just a bridge too far for us.

When we eventually got over the feeling of shame and failure for not being able to solve this problem ourselves, we set up this fundraiser.
None of us had much confidence that it would work out, but we really wanted to try everything.
These times are hard, and everyone has their own problems. We didn't expect there would still be people willing to help us with ours, as well.
We can't believe the generousity of each and every one of you who gave something to help a little girl that they have never met before.

Considering the circumstances, Hanyi is doing all right. She gets something for the pain, and doctors have confidence in the future, though it will not be easy.
She is afraid to sleep in the dark of night, but her parents are with her as often as they can. Their daughter means the world to them.

Everyone in my family is eternally grateful for your help. We will never forget this. Thank you so very much.

I've deactivated the fundraider. There's a small amount left to be paid, but we get that money from items that will be sold in a few days.
Again, we are most grateful for the help, and though it's greatly appreciated, we do not wish to rely on the generousity of others any longer than strictly necessary.
