UPDATED JANUARY 1ST 2014
Some of you may have been around when I first started this blog, in the fall of 2011. Until then, the older children (aged 6+) shared a grant - the grant grew until one of the older children were chosen - and then their family got whatever was in the grant at the time. Then, the grant re-set to zero, and grew again until another child was chosen.
This all changed, though, in September 2011, when Reece's Rainbow decided (thankfully), that each older child would have their own grant. Unfortunately, this meant that all of the kids had ZERO in their grants to start with - just as if they were newly listed. And so this blog was born - to try and zero the zeros of all of the 171 older kids. Amazingly, we did manage to do it - and then, over time, we got the kids all up to $20 in their grants - and then up to $50 in their grants. Baby steps !! Since then, the goal has been to get them all up to and beyond $100 - while at the same time, trying to zap the zeros of the newly listed older kids AND then get them up to $100 !!! Sometimes I feel like I am banging my head against a wall - but then I look back and see how far we have come, and I am truly amazed !!
Below is a list of the older children who were listed and had donation buttons in September 2011 - every single child listed below and precisely ZERO in their grants just over 2 years ago. I updated the list in September 2012, and then again this last week of May 2013, again on September 22nd 2013, and now today, January 1st 2014.
Most of the children have a much more substantial grant now - many, thanks to New Hope grants, gifted to them from children no longer available for adoption, due to the Ru$$ian adoption ban.
MANY children have been adopted and are already home with their families !!!
Many have families actively working to bring them home !!!
Look at the list - scroll down - LOOK at all the RED !!!!!
LOOK at the numbers - the grants - just look !!
These kids had ZERO 2 years ago !!!!

I will admit that I AM sad to see that 7 of the original zeros do still have less than $100 in their grants. I think we'll have to do something about that really soon!! For now - though - let's rejoice in the RED names - those that have been found - as well as the large grants that many of the children now have !!
We may only take baby steps - but just watch those children soar as their grants grow and grow and grow !!!
Please - do what you can to SHARE these children !! Click on any name in the list and it should take you to their profile, where you can see, in most cases, a picture, as well as a description.
Please - share - it's the only way their families will find them !!
Please - if you can - donate !!
Pray !
Natalija L60 - $7237.20 comes up as Emilija L64 - $2133.10 when I click on her name.
