We do not release any personal information on any of the orphans in the homes we support. We have several reasons for this. This is just a volunteer program. We are not seeking donations, but only prayers for these kids. We do not have the resources at this time to develop public profiles of all the children. It is a lot of work, and would take more time than we have right now. In the future, we do hope to give a little more information to our prayer guardians. I realize that it would be nice to know more about the child and would help you pray for him more specifically, but for now, I would just ask that you faithfully offer your prayers. These children need it. Most of the orphans are between the ages of 5 and 14. Each one has a heart-breaking story. I would encourage you to check back to the website of the home your child lives in. You can learn a lot about what is going on in that country and read specifics about the home. 

We don’t send letters between the children and their supporters. We are cautious of this relationship because of how attached the children become. Yes, there are some organizations that do allow this. These are great groups who have worthy causes and support many poor and needy families around the world; however, our mission differs from theirs in that we support only orphans. They come from a very different perspective. They have lost everything…their homes and families…their security. If these children were to develop a relationship with supporters, they would become very vulnerable to attachment loss once again. One day, we may possibly develop a program for you to write to the orphan homes as a whole, but right now, we are not equipped to do so

YES! We would encourage you to be Prayer Guardians with your family, friends, your Sunday school classes, small groups, ladies clubs, or any other group you are in. We’ll send a child for each of you to pray for. It’s a great group prayer project!

~ Warm Blankets has traditionally organized four or five mission groups a year which visit the areas where we are rescuing orphans. We would strongly recommend you travel in one of those groups for safety and logistics reasons. Private trips can be arranged however. You should keep in mind that any persons having direct contact with the children are required to fill out an application and to submit to a background check. Please allow plenty of time for this process to be completed. (Applications can be found under Resources on the home page).
