These 8 boys listed on Reece's Rainbow face a triple whammy - they are older, they have zero in their grants, and they don't have a photo in their profile. They get passed over more than most - with no picture to look at, there seems to be no point in even reading their profile. Who wants to choose a child in a photo listing if there isn't even a photo ? Who wants to donate to a faceless child ? How about you ??
