PICK a child !!

______________________________________________

APRIL 11TH - MATCHING GRANT !!!!

FOR EVERY CHILD BUMPED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE (CURRENTLY WITH $4.50), OVER THE $10 WALL, FIVE KIDS WILL BE BUMPED FROM THE TOP OVER THE $10 WALL !!
UP TO $50 MATCHING FUNDS !!!

______________________________________________

Keep up the great work - pick a child and see them soar !!!

Last time I posted on this blog, my husband and I were just about to jump into the process of adoption - once that happened, my focus was taken away from zeroing the zeros :(

However - our boys have been home from Ukraine 6 months now, and I am ready to jump back into doing what I had been doing for the past seven years !!

Looking back, my goal was to ZAP all of the zeros, and get at least $10 into the adoption grants of every child listed on Reece's Rainbow - so I figure that is a great place to start again !!

What I would like YOU to do - is PICK A CHILD !!

It's simple - scroll through the names, pick one, click on their name - LOOK at their picture - READ their profile - SHARE them - and, if you can, send a few dollars their way !!

Let's see if we can get ALL of these kiddo's over the $10 wall !!!

There are currently ~~111~~ 107 children with less then $10 in their adoption grants.

You can click on their name, and it will take you to their profile, where you will find a big DONATE button - simply click that button, and give them all your money !! LOL

These children are all worth SO much more than zero. I know that a few dollars in their grant won't bring them home - but the aim of this blog from the beginning was to show that ALL of these kids have worth. If they have ZERO in their grant, that means NO-ONE has ever really, truly, seen them and deemed them worthy. Just ONE donation means that someone has seen them, that someone cares enough to go that extra mile and send them some love.

Please SEE these children.

If not YOU - then WHO ??

Go ahead - PICK a child !!

Share - donate - pray !!

I'm changing things a little here - I realize that I have seriously neglected this blog recently, so I am starting afresh, adding more children, and lowering the bar.

In the past, this blog has focused on the older children, aged over the age of 6.

In the past, the goal of this blog has been to zap all of the zeros (i.e. make sure ALL children have something in their grant, NO big fat zeros !!)

In the past, my aim has been to get ALL grants up to at least $100.

However, I realize that the $100 wall is FAR too high, so we are going back to basics, taking baby steps, and aiming low - for starters.

Once we reach the first goal, we will raise the bar a little higher.

Now, this may seem crazy, but the first wall we have to leap over is just $10 !!

Yes, I know - $10 in nothing, in the grand scheme of things, but, like I said, we are starting low and aiming high !!

There are currently 172 children with LESS THAN $10 in their grant.

65 of these children have ZERO in their grant.

What can WE do about that ?

What can we do to help these grants grow, and help out the future families of these children ?

If you have any amazing ideas, please let me know !!

While it may seem like these children have plenty of time to find a family, the reality is that every day they spend in their orphanages and institutions is a day too long. Every day without a family is a day that can never be found again. Every hour they spend sitting in a room doing nothing is an hour that could have been spent learning, loving, and being part of a family.

All too often I see people begging for families for children who are about to "age out" - children who are fast approaching their 14th or 16th birthday, meaning they will forever lose all chance of a family.

All too often I see the faces of children for whom it IS too late - those who have aged out already, who will spend the rest of their lives in an institution, hidden away from the rest of the world.

If you're prepared for your heart to be broken, go HERE, and you will see ALL of the photo listings of the children we have let down - the ones that got away, who aged out before they could be saved.

If you want your hearts to be shattered and scattered in the wind, go HERE, to see the children who died before they ever had a chance to age out.

The children listed below are aged 0-9 years old

They are all in desperate need of a family - and they also need help growing their grants, so their family, once they find them, will have every chance to bring them home as soon as possible !!

I realize that looking at a list of names isn't the most exciting way to spend your time - but let's be honest here - advocating for orphans isn't the most glamorous of occupations. We don't do it because it is fun (although seeing a child come home with a family IS about as good as it gets !). We do it because - if WE don't - who will ?? If you've taken the time to read this - then I'm pretty sure you're a hard core advocate, and will do whatever you can to get these kids seen.

So - all I ask of you (and if you have read this blog before, this will be familiar) - is for you to SHARE.

You can share this blog post - anywhere and everywhere !
