Founded in July, the "Caring Moms Group" from Shouguang, a county-level city in Weifang, East China's Shandong province, has extended its caring touch to positively impact the lives of underprivileged children in the region.

Comprising 30 members, including entrepreneurs, psychologists, full-time mothers and freelancers, this group has helped children, particularly disabled and orphaned ones, and those from poor families and of migrant workers, to feel the warmth of maternal love.

"I'm really blessed to have so many 'moms' who care and help me," said 10-year-old Xiao Li (pseudonym), who became a beneficiary of the group's efforts after her parents got divorced.

In August, volunteers visited Xiao Li's home with essentials like clothing, snacks, fruits, and school supplies. Five volunteers also pledged 3,000 yuan ($420) in annual education assistance to her.

The volunteers will also visit and accompany Xiao Li regularly to understand her thoughts and practical needs, and give her sufficient care and warmth.

Xiao Li is among the three disadvantaged children currently cared for by the "Caring Moms Group". The organization is now gearing up to extend its support to 21 more children, and has been conducting eligibility screenings through school and community visits.

In a heartwarming gesture, the "Caring Moms Group" in October raised 4,000 yuan to provide essential supplies to the Xingxin Special Education School in Shouguang.

Over the past four months, the group has organized various initiatives, including donation drives, traffic safety classes, and parent-child sports events to provide compassion and assistance for disadvantaged children in the region.

Dong Yang, leader of the "Caring Moms Group", emphasized that caring for disadvantaged children goes beyond material actions and requires an understanding of their inner worlds. As such, the group has established a psychological counseling team that conducts weekly counseling sessions for adolescents going through rebellious phases. The team also actively participates in volunteer activities to ensure the children are safe when traveling to and from school.

"We hope that more caring people can join us so that more children in need can feel the warmth of being cared for," Dong said.
