The babies


 
Regular readers will know that I advocate for the older children, the passed over kiddos, those with the least hope.

Of course, I do see the younger children - I see those who are being adopted or advocated for - but very rarely do I go and actually LOOK at them.

This evening, I did.  I was curious, to see how many of the younger kids had zero in their grants.
 
I was, I confess, shocked.  I realize that many are newly listed, and so haven't had a chance for their grants to grow yet.
 
I was still amazed to see that there are, currently, 47 children aged 0-5 who have ZERO in their grants.
 
I couldn't just ignore them.
 
So here they are.  Most are "Other Angels" - children with needs other than Down Syndrome.  The majority of children with DS are able to grow their grants during the annual Angel Tree Christmas fundraiser, so thankfully most have at least $1000 in their grants.

Please - look at these children - and consider donating to them - or sharing them ?

ABOMINABLE ZEROS !!!!!




OK folks - this is where we stand with the zeros.
There are TOO MANY !!!!
Right now, we are down to 36 34 33 32 25 23 19 13 12 8 2 children with zero !!
LOOK at the red numbers - children who have been SEEN - children who have been noticed - children who have been cared enough about that someone - or probably several someones (forgive my English) - took the time to click on their link, read their profiles, and donate to them.
Children who are NO LONGER ZEROS in any way

Those children who have hope, because if ONE person can notice them, that means even MORE people can see them, and see that they have worth - and maybe donate to them - or, even, step forward and say MINE.

What about the other 36 34 33 32 25 23 19 13 12 
8  6 2 children ?
Children who, until very recently, have not been seen.
Newly listed children.
Children who have been hidden away in orphanages and institutions, left behind, forgotten.
What are we going to do ?
Glance at them then look away ?
Pretend we don't see them ?
Move on to the young, cuter kids ?
Turn a blind eye to these older kids, abandoned and passed over too many times in their short lives ?
Or are we going to make a stand.
Stand up for the beautiful kids we see in front of us.
Look them in the eye and tell them that NO - we will NOT ignore them.
WE DO CARE.
Tell them they are worth SO MUCH MORE than zero.
Tell the world that they have worth.
SHARE them.
LOVE them.
HELP them.
If not US - then WHO ??

36 34 33 32 25 23 19 13 12 8 SIX TWO beautiful, adorable children, who want nothing more than a family.

What can YOU do ?

SHARE them

Look them in the eye

DONATE - get RID of those abominable zeros !!

PRAY.

If not YOU - then WHO ??

Once we get rid of the zeros, we will be back to working on getting the grants of all of the older kids up to $100.

First, though - we need to ZERO THE ZEROS !!!
