Bushra is a half-blind 10-year-old girl living in rural Bangladesh. She was abandoned when she was born after it was discovered that she was half-blind. Bushra was graciously adopted by a single mother who works hard to support the two of them, but unfortunately they still live in poverty. All Bushra has ever wanted is to be able to go to school with the other children her age. So, this year we wanted to help Bushra achieve her yearning for education and prepared a backpack with all the general school supplies to send to her.

Hello All,
Through the help from all of our volunteers, the money from the underwear sales plus some small cash and recycled items donations all contributed to the cause for people in need. It enabled us to not only help the local people but also to help the international orphans and children in need.
The effect of our "little steps", through sharing and giving, is enormous. We truly do make a difference in the society and hopefully everyone is keeping up with the good work.
If you have ever made a donation to charity groups, you might understand that not every institute is willing to take the time to write thank-you letters or to issue donation receipts to you. Often times they take a while to mail donation receipts to you.
Since we emphasized that we don't have overhead of any administrative expenses, all our volunteers who are involved in the charity cases are "100% volunteered" – meaning that not one cent goes to as the administration fees. All the gas money comes right out from our own pockets, and our financials are open and transparent in public. Our volunteers, as always, try their best to get the donation receipt(s) as soon as they receive the donations.
We would like to clarify one thing though: the Evergreen Senior Care does not do any fundraising for other charity groups but soley for itself. However, since we don't have an account for our charity fund, the fund is actually handled jointly by the Evergreen Senior Care CEO, board members, and one of our volunteers, Yarlin Ho. We post on the website regularly, keeping our readers updated on where all the donations go. Please go to the month abbreviation link above and click on the Month of Thank you letter to see details for the monthly activities. If you have questions, please email to Evergreen Senior Care, Inc. at evergreenseniorcare@gmail.com directly for verification.
The charity group of Evergreen Senior Care is in conjunction with the Salvation Army in Baltimore city, the Providence Hospital in DC, The Daughters of Charity Emmitsburg Province, Alternative House, Vienna VA,churches in D.C. area, the Rural Outreach and Immigration Services of Martinsburg, WV and the Victim Services Section of Fairfax County Police Department, to help people in need without charging the administration fee. For the past 10 years, our volunteer activities have included distributing food to the homeless, packing back-to-school supplies in backpacks for low income children, providing Thanksgiving meals to less fortunate families, and distributing over 2,000 stuffed animals to over 40 organizations and hospitals in the Washington metropolitan area.
Below explains how we do the charity work - Once we get a request from our contacts, volunteers will decide the budget of the project by determining the types of materials, supplies and quantity for the needy and planning on how much should be raised or how many items should be collected. Then, we actively work on the fundraising to meet the goal. We do not donate cash to any of these organizations, but when they are at need for goods or food, we try in all our ability to provide assistance as much as possible. We even, sometimes, followed them through the process as they distributed the donations to the people they support.
If you would like to support our charity activities, the checks can be written to the Evergreen Senior Care and sent to our new address: 1921 Birch Road, McLean, VA 22101. On the year 2011, the Evergreen Senior Care will be on the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) list of approved charities.
