After a two month absence from blogging, I'm back, and ready to shout as loud as ever !! In case you are new here, and don't know what is going on, it's really quite simple.
The children below are in desperate need of adoptive families. They all have special needs, and all live in countries where those with disabilities are seen as being less worthy than others. Parents are encouraged to leave their babies at the hospital, told that they would be better off in an orphanage. Some children are abandoned at a young age once families realize they have a disability. As these children age, they move from the baby orphanage to an institution. Here, their chances of survival are pretty slim, thanks to a combination of lack of staff, poor living conditions, and lack of funding. Physically disabled children spend their days in cribs, with no education, therapies, toys - or love. All of these children truly need rescuing, and thankfully there are people out there who are willing to step forward and adopt them !! The only obstacle is, sadly, money. Most families who are financially able to provide for a child don't have the $30,000 (or more) needed for adoption costs in their back pocket.
This is where Reece's Rainbow comes in. They help raise both awareness AND adoption grants for these children !! In 10 years, Reece's Rainbow has helped over 1600 children find homes - and they have many more who have wonderful individual grants to help out with the cost of their adoption.
The purpose of this blog is to focus on the children between the ages of 6-9, specifically those who have less than $100 in their adoption grant - and, even more specifically, to help ZAP the zeros of those who have ZERO in their grants.
Once we have all of the zeros zapped, I will list the children who have less than $100 in their grants, and we can focus on growing their grants to $100+.
So - on to the children below. There are currently just9 6 3 children (aged 6-9) with ZERO in their adoption grant - so it should be pretty easy to ZAP those zeros, shouldn't it ? All you need to do is click on their name - you will then be taken to their profile on Reece's Rainbow's web site. There, you will see a big pink DONATE button - click on that, and you will be able to donate, via Paypal or debit/credit card, to their very own adoption grant. See how easy that is ?
