CHANGSHA Sam Martin Jersey , Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- Yang Yueqing can still recall her very first sight of "Olivia" three years ago.

"Olivia was in my arms, small, skinny and dying, staring blankly at the world," recalled the nurse. Born with cerebral palsy and heart disease,abandoned by her family, Olivia soon contracted pneumonia.

She was left at the No. 1 social welfare center in Changsha Glover Quin Jersey , capital of central China's Hunan province. Because of her poor health, she was sent to the Butterfly Children's Palliative Care Center.

In the past three years, Olivia was declared to be in a critical condition more than 10 times, but Yang, never gave up on her. Two weeks ago, Olivia's gastric tube was removed, and she can finally eat and drink normally.

"I have no grandchildren Matt Prater Jersey , and Olivia is like my granddaughter," Yang said. "I am very, very happy for her."

The Butterfly Center, founded by retired British nurse Lyn Gould, is China's first center for children with incurable diseases. Gould, 66, told Xinhua that it had always been her dream to create such a center in China.

"I saw a movie when I was eight Nevin Lawson Jersey , The Inn of the Sixth Happiness," she said. "It was about an English woman called Gladys Aylward who came to China in the early part of the 20th century, and started to care for children who had been left by the roadside or had no home."

Inspired by the movie, Gould came to China when she was 45. "China was a very poor country then. I was scared, but I realized it was somewhere I could really do something."

With all her savings, Gould returned to China with her husband to set up the center in 2010. She named the center Butterfly, "because the butterfly is a symbol of hope Tavon Wilson Jersey , a symbol of beauty, lightness, freedom and color. Every butterfly is slightly different, and the butterfly goes through many transformations in its life."

She works with the local welfare center, which sends her children diagnosed as incurable. There are 20 beds in Butterfly. Five foreign nurses and 26 Chinese nurses taking care of the children around the clock. Usually one nurse looks after no more than three children, said Fa Xiaoli who works at the center. Gould works a shift just like the other nurses.

So far they have provided care for 153 children. Many have died in the arms of the nurses, with dignity and surrounded by love.

Yang Yueqing remembers watching Gould holding a toddler during his last moments Quandre Diggs Jersey , saying, "Baby I love you" and kissing him on the forehead, while everyone cried. She cleaned his body, put his favorite toys by his side, and sat with him until staff from the funeral home arrive.

In the center there is a "wall of butterflies", where each butterfly symbolizes a child. Those resting on the rainbow have left this world, but T.J. Jones Jersey , like Olivia, nearly half of the children eventually recover.

Those who recover follow many different paths. Those with cerebral palsy go to a rehabilitation center, the blind to a special school and the healthy return to the welfare center. "But there are children who have lived for years in our center and established strong emotional bonds with us," Fu said. "If they were sent away, they would be hurt again, so we keep them here until they are adopted." So far, more than 10 children have found new homes.

Gould wishes she could give hope to all families with handicapped children or those who are critically ill.

"The parents must be extremely helpless when they decided to abandon their babies Nick Bellore Jersey ," said Fu. "It is our wish that more care centers like this could be established, so that parents can send children here during the day and have them back at night. Children should not live without love."

Running such a center is difficult and costly. The Butterfly's monthly expenses are around 170,000 yuan (about 27,000 U.S. dollars), which comes mostly from donation.
