Two down, 109 to go !



We have two new members of the $20 Club - Matvey and Emilija !!! There are still SO many more children looking for those extra dollars, though - 109 of them to be precise. There have actually been many new children added to the older age group categories - most of them do not yet have donation buttons, though. I will add them in as they get their own grants, so the numbers with less than $20 will go up at some point, unfortunately. There are currently 80 children without donation buttons for one reason or another - but, they ARE listed, so at least have a chance at being found :)

In the meantime, we'll focus on the kids with next to nothing in their accounts. All 109 of them. I know it sounds like a daunting task - but look what we did to the 171 zeros !! For most of the children, all it will take is $5 or $10 to get them to the magic $20. In fact, all it would take to get ALL 109 of the children to $20 would be $1416.14. Less than $1500, and every child would be in the $20 Club, and ready to go for the next goal. How incredibly cool would that be ? I can only imagine what the goal for them will be by Christmas 2012 - other than finding a family for them, which is obviously the ultimate goal for all of them. Please - if you can - find $5 or $10, and let's whittle down that $1416.14 to ZERO. Yep, here I go with the zeros again.

Click on any of the links below, and look for a child with less than $20 - and get them over that hill and into the $20 club - please !!

The least with the least


THREE more children have now joined the $20 club !! Silas, Janna and Cindy - welcome !! The best thing about this club is that once you join, the only way is up !! Once all the children are over $20, we'll have a new goal, then another new goal - and ultimately, new families. That's all I really hope for - but in the mean time, we'll take those baby steps and just keep getting those names and faces out there.

Today, we will meet the oldest children - those who are over ten, and sadly the least likely to be adopted, despite their potential for being a wonderful son or daughter. There ARE parents out there for every single one of them, though - they just need to see their faces and take a leap of faith. Let's help them out just a teeny weeny bit, shall we ? A few dollars in their grants, share their names and faces on blogs and social media - and one day, their future parents will see them an fall in love.
It WILL happen !!



Margit $15


Dawn $15
























Kate $13

Nineteen children aged over the age of ten, with less than $20 in their grants.

They deserve SO much more, don't you think ?
