The $5 Kids

 
 
Did you know, that of all of the older kids listed on Reece's Rainbow, there are 42 who only have $5 in their adoption grants ?
 
What are the chances of them being chosen for adoption with so little ?
 
Most of these children have been listed within the past few weeks and months.
 
They have all been passed over by who knows how many people ?
 
Why ?
 
They're older. Less appealing and cute than the little ones, so less likely to get donations.
 
Adoptive families don't have thousands and thousands of dollars laying around to fund their adoption.  I'm pretty sure that seeing just $5 in a child's grants means that many families can't even consider them.
 
I have been able, thankfully, to zero many zeros in the past few weeks, often on the day the children are listed.  However, I don't have the funds to keep adding to every child's grant, as much as I would like to !!  I am SO proud to see there are NO older children with zero in their grants at the moment ! 
 
Thank you to all who have helped zap those zeros !!
 
Now - who would like to help the $5 kids grow their grants just a little ?
 
Can we get them up to $10 ?
 
All it would take is 42 people to donate $5 to each child.
 
Or 21 people to donate $10 !!
 
That's NOTHING in the grand scheme of things !!
 
I do understand that not everyone can donate - I really do.
 
BUT - everyone has the ability to share.
 
Share this blog.
 
Or look through the list of children and share just one child.
 
However you want to do it - just do it - help a child today !!

  1. Navid reached 9.95 now, though it would be 10 but for whatever reason I did my math the wrong way... Well it is better that 5 I suppose ;-)
    I wish it was 10'000 or something but he'll have to get there a little at a time. I'm sur he will: have you ever seen such a lovely wholehearted smile???
    He's such a wonderful boy! Where is his mama?

    1. Thank you so much for helping Navid - he is adorable - and yes, as much as we'd like to be able to make their grants jump by hundreds and thousands, we just have to be content with the baby steps :)
