Event Details
When blind and physically disabled minister and award-winning author Dr. Shirley Cheng founded Unite in Love on May 21, 2020, she thought it was just going to be a short-term project to assist her brethren and Bible students in developing countries weather the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. "But once life gradually returned to normal, I found that there were ongoing causes I could not and should not forsake: education for school kids and university students, business startups for single moms, life-saving medical care to treat diseases from tuberculosis to malaria, sustainable home farming, and basic assistance to help single parents get by in struggling economies," explains Dr. Cheng.
Since its founding, Unite in Love is privileged to have served over sixty families and individuals across eight countries--and counting. Our love team--supporters of Unite in Love--provides emergency funds to those who are left to fend for themselves in regions with no government assistance, unemployment benefits, or food banks. To date, our team has covered essentials such as food (including seeds and fertilizer for home farming), rent, and life-saving medical care for diseases from tuberculosis to malaria, and medical equipment such as a wheelchair and a walker. We have also funded business startups and education, which has kept a medical student in college and three children in primary school. Love gifts to Unite in Love have prevented the eviction of several families with young children and funded the construction of a hut and a rain-harvesting tank system for a single mother and her children, ensuring they have both shelter and clean drinking water.

100% of love gifts go directly to those in need because there are no overhead costs, and every love gift makes a significant impact.
It’s estimated that in 2024, malaria took the precious lives of 610,000 people in eighty countries; about 75% of those deaths were children under five. Yet, a love gift of just $10 to $15 can save a life--as that is the average cost to treat this completely curable disease. Indeed, a simple love gift can be a true lifesaver.
Join in our celebration of six years of service and give a love gift today to effect change, one family at a time!
There is power in love and strength in number. When we put these together -- when we unite in love -- we live up to our humanity!
Most importantly, remember what our Lord Jesus said: "Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me." (Matthew 25:40, WEB)
