Christmas Angels

I have two more Christmas Angels to blog about today.

Daniel is half way to his Christmas goal of $1,000 - help him reach that goal!!

and Abigail who is also half way to her Christmas goal of $1,000.

Please if you can donate, make a gift to their fund.  They are beautiful kiddos just like my Ollie Faith patiently waiting to be loved and adored!

Here is a link to the fundraising efforts of their Christmas warriors - they are selling blankets to help bring these babies their families.

And if you can't donate - PRAY, POST, SHARE!  Ignorance is bliss, but don't let your eyes be shut to this need anymore.

Ollie's Christmas Wish

Girlfriend has a big Christmas wish this year...

We were browsing Reece's Rainbow's Angel Tree and stumbled upon another Ollie.  He's sweet as pie.  He shares a name and a chromosome count with our sweet Ollie Faith.  But he has no mama to kiss his cheeks at night.   He has no brother or sister to make him laugh to light up a room.  He has no Daddy to rock & sing to him.  He lives in an orphanage, and when he turns 5 he will be sent to an adult mental institution.

The larger his fund is, the more likely his family will step forward to adopt him.  So I ask you this Christmas to do something for Ollie.  Help him get his home, because an orphanage then a mental institution is no place for sweet babies to grow up.

Reece's Rainbow

In other countries Down Syndrome isn't completely understood.  For this reason, hundreds of children are sitting in orphanages waiting for families to adopt them.  There is an organization called Reece's Rainbow that is helping people adopt and bring these kiddos home. 

Here is their purpose:

The mission of Reece's Rainbow is to rescue orphans with Down syndrome through the gift of adoption, to raise awareness for all of the children who are waiting in 25 countries around the world, and to raise funds as adoption grants that help adoptive families afford the high cost of adopting these beautiful children.

When these children do not get adopted, around age 5 they are sent into adult mental institutions where a majority of them die.  It breaks my heart.

I ask you for the upcoming holiday season to donate to this amazing fund & be an angel for one of these children.  Here is a link to the 2011 Angel Tree that begins 11-1-11.

$35 to you may not mean much, but to one of these angels it means their life!
