Building a community of helping angels
CHARITY activities under the "Greatest Love under the Blue Sky" banner were organized throughout the city from November 21 last year to January 7, and Jiading residents took part in the campaign actively.
Ninety-year-old retired official Li Shengdou donated 1,000 yuan (US$159) at Xinyu Community to aid children living in poor mountainous areas. "It's getting cold and kids in mountainous areas need clothes and quilts to keep warm," Li said. Li's wife also donated 200 yuan. Li's son, who used to take care of them, has fallen ill badly recently, and the family is in need of money. Neighbors advised Li to hire an ayi to help them, but they insisted on doing their own domestic chores. "Every penny we saved can be used for those who need it more," Li said.
The donations given by Li and his wife have moved a lot of residents.
New immigrants in Jiading also gave a hand to assist those who need help. In Jiading Industrial Zone, more than 3,000 yuan in donations were collected within an hour. Chen Guiqiu from southeastern Fujian Province is an Internet cafe owner in Zhuqiao area. He was the first to donate, giving 500 yuan. "As a newcomer in Jiading, I got support from the local people, and now I have a chance to help others," Chen said.
Neighborly love warms people's hearts. In Jiaxin Community of Juyuan New Area, many residents came to the neighborhood community to make donations, but left no personal information. Some only said: "I simply do good, please don't ask my name."
