Saving Sarea and Saige

I have been praying about who I need to write about and so many children have came into my mind. But two special girls have been calling my heart. Saige and Sarea they are not sisters they are not even the same age. I don't even know if they are in the same orphange. But with God all things are possible, and he has layed these two precious pearls on my heart for a reason.


 Sarea is 3 yrs old with cerebral palsy and optic nerve atrophy her mobility is poor and her limbs weak. But looking at her smile makes me believe she is full of energy and has a huge amount of love to give if only given the chance. Her beautiful dark black eyes talk to you and Oh what a sweet daughter she will be for someone one day.

Sarea

Now when I see Saige and I see a kindhearted little girl who loves to learn and works hard in doing so. She is very helpful to others not as capable as doing as much as her and will make a wonderful big sister/daughter in a loving family.



Saige



At 10yrs old this precious girl does so much for others just look at her smile. Do these girls have a place in your heart as well as your home to give them a chance to live a life they so much deserve. They both have so much love to give! Will you save Sarea and Saige from a life of loneliness and show them the world?

Christmas Wishes

We can sit and make list of things we would love to receive this Christmas... But for the advocates of the children we shout for our Christmas wishes are not for ourselves it's for "our" children. The children that capture our hearts and wish they had a home.

I want you to meet Bobby a face you may have already seen here on the side bar of my blog.  Bobby is my first AT Child on my familys Christmas tree this year. His face is absolutely Beautiful! But we fear that Bobby is not doing well .... his color changing has us all thinking, he losing strength, hope of anybody coming for him.

Bobby

Please consider giving to Bobby grant this Christmas. Please Share Bobby with everyone you know, he needs a family soon! So we ask Bobby to stay strong, we are shouting for you! As loud as we can so please Hold on!

Thankful

There are so many things to be Thankful for this Thanksgiving. But I have to admit with a broken down car and a few other struggle in my life this week it was very easy to forget. I am blessed with a family and children who love me. But my heart feels sad today. As I sat and watched my three year old play with his toys. I imagened Alexander alone in his bed.

As we give Thanks for all our blessings and things we have, Could I ask you to remember Alexander. He will be alone this Thanksgiving surrounded only by the workers of the institution and the rest of the children just like him orphans.

If you heart is open to giving this Thanksgiving won't you please help Alexander to raise his Angel Tree fund. Currently he sits at $42.00 and still need $958 to reach the goal of $1000. His grant reads $11,445.50 but it is still aways for him to be funded enough for a family to go and get him if they found him today. That is why your donation would help raise this to help his forever family find him. Any amount is appreciated it never too small as every donation adds up. And please know that all donations are also tax deductable. "Thanksgiving after all is a word of action."

Psalm 69:30

"I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving."

Angel Tree

Every year Reeces Rainbow does an Angel Tree of Children  who are on the waiting list. This Year there are  over 200 children on the Angel Tree. And each child has a Angel Tree Warrior who have committed to help to raise $1000 or more toward their grant.

Meet my little Angel Tree Child Alexander! he is described as calm and sendentary. He has been waiting so long and his going on 6 years old. Which means he is still in a baby house, but will soon be transferred  to an adult institution if he hasn't already. My wish this Christmas is for Alexander not only to reach $1000 or more in his grant. But wouldn't it be wonderful for Alexander to be found and not have to face the horror of knowing what an adult institution looks like.

This is Alexander now and this is what his picture looks like on the Angel Tree. You may click on the link here and find Alexander or on his picture on the side bar and it will take you to the children listed. You can find Alexander and donate any amount you are lead to donate. With a minimum donation of $35 you will receive an ornament with Alexanders picture to hang on your tree this year! Alexander has a significant amount in his grant. By helping raise more through the Angel Tree will give him a greater chance for him to be seen won't you help me be a part of Helping Alexander this Christmas.

Priceless Pearl

If you have been following my blog it all started with one little boy. A small child whose eyes spoke to me and touched my heart to forever change my world. A child who was loved in a baby house and a favorite suddenly taken out and put in an institution. My heart broke everynight and in tears wondering how he was doing or what. I prayed that this child this six year old boy would not be in a place where only survival of the fittest survived. I had to know...I had to know how he lived in that institution So I prayed. Then one day as I was chatting with friends in a group I came across Life2Orphans and then I found him and the place he lived in and how. I was so relieved to hear he was doing well, and was being taken care by people who cared so much for him. I knew God had his hand on this.

I continued to go back everyday and look at his profile and with everyday I kept wondering why this little guy was not in a home why?

I started to think because his grant was only at $3000 that people were overlooking him. So I knew that I had to help him in someway. I started a fundraiser which only raised alittle over 100 dollars. I felt so discouraged I was never going to raise his account not to where it would help him get noticed. And then it poured in hundreds to thousands of dollars in his account raising almost $5000 in one month. And it kept growing to over half his adoption cost... once again I knew God had his hand on this.

Still months went by and nothing moved his grant was growing his profile was getting exposure but no one stepped up to inquire about him. This little guy was not getting the attention he so desperately needed.

When I first started reading about him I would notice comments about his purple sweater and why he was wearing a womans sweater. It upset me that people were giving so much attention to a sweater and not his sweet face and that wild adorable hair as if he just woke up. Then it appeared a new picture of him just the way I imagened his smile!  and I continued to believe God had his hand on this.

So here was a child who inspite of being in an institution was still smiling! I just knew someone would scoop him up God was surely going to lead his family to him now I thought so I continued to pray for him and wait on God's timing. I have to admit it was not easy to wait on God's timing I was getting so restless seeing him still listed on the waiting page. I wanted him in a family, I wanted him to be loved and cared for.

Now almost a year of praying and waiting... I am so happy to write out here that Brent will not have to spend his life in an institution. He will no longer have to spend a birthday alone. He will no longer be alone. Brent has a family coming for him! and this brings so much joy into my heart. You see I have gone back to when I first came across Brent, and I knew that there was something about him that kept drawing me to him. You see Brent has never been alone in this world he has always had God's hand on him. He brought strangers together to pray and help him. Because God knows the plans he has for Brent. And they are not an institutional  life. Brent is a Priceless pearl , he is the reason I started this blog. He is the reason I will continue to advocate for children across the world from me. Brent is a precious pearl who was waiting to be found!  

Starfish of Orphanage 42

Are you familiar with the Starfish Story? This story of a young man standing by the ocean side throwing starfish back into the water. An elderly gentleman approches him and asks him what was he doing and the young man replied throwing the starfish back into the water. The sun is up and the tide is going down surely they will die. The older gentleman comments "There are too many and you will never be able to get them all back in the water." The young man picks up a starfish and throws it back into the ocean and says "I made a difference for that one."

How many times have you had the opportunity to make a Starfish Story? If we look into our daily lifes we surely have all had the chance to help someone and make a difference in someway. Regardless of how insignificant it may have seemed to others.

I would like you to meet the Starfish of Orphange 42......

This six children are all looking to be saved from institutions and into a home safely where they belong.
Surely they all have a mom and dad out there that can rescue them from that sunrise. To give them the opportunity to live in a family just like the starfish the boy in the story rescued. Could this be you? Are you willing to make a difference for them?

                            Could it be Kyle? who has been posted but never seen.

                                   Or  Sasha who is now a lost boy in urgent need.

Could it be Millie who distant look calls out to you.

 

Or Holly who happen to catch my attention tonight.

Whoever it may be that needs prayers tonight I will certainly be praying. Praying for these children who still do not have a family only us to show them to the world.
