156 friends had chosen to become monthly donors for the Center till February 8th. Every month, they donate 8,874 yuan which can cover the operation expenditure of free and low-cost community activities. We appreciate your precious donations! However, we need at least 700,000 yuan per year from monthly donation to offset the Center’s operation cost and there is still a long way to go to achieve that goal, and therefore we will put more efforts into promoting the monthly donation plan. We also hope that you can be one of our monthly donors to keep the Center be there for everyone in need!
