Angel Tree, Christmas, and The Pleven Project

There is only 5 days left of the first angel tree I ever did. I have raised $564 dollars. Didn't reach my goal but I am still very grateful that I was able to raise that much for miss Leilani. Precious Leilani is still waiting for her family. I'm going to continue to advocate for her and other Reece's Rainbow kids of course. I will still have fund raisers to raise money for these orphans who are so lonely. My dream is to find a home for at least one orphan off of Reece's rainbow. But now wasn't the right time and the only person who knows who that orphan will be and who that family is and when I will share the picture of that child and when the family will see it and everything else that goes through the adoption process is God. He just has to lead me.

Thank you God for helping me raise five hundred and sixty-four dollars for Leilani.


I meant to do a Merry Christmas post yesterday or Christmas Eve but I got really sick and didn't move off the couch for about 3 days.  I'm still recovering but I am feeling much better. I think I had a really bad cold or the flu. Not fun. I hope you had a very very merry Christmas. I had a wonderful day spent with family and friends. I got a new camera that I can't wait to go on adventures with and share the memories with you all. My brother got me awesome number stickers for my bike. My grandma knows me so well, she got me a giant stuffed elephant and 3 smaller elephants. I got a pink "I am Second" sweatshirt as well as a necklace from the Life Without Limbs foundation.

Just before Christmas I was catching up on The Blessing of Verity blog and I came across the blog post that announced the name of the project to help the children of the Pleven baby house. A few months earlier I had entered a couple of name ideas for this project, one being The Pleven Project. I received an email stating that my idea helped create the name for the project. I was super excited but I was on my way to school when I got that email so I didn't check the blog that day. Turns out that it got named The P.L.E.V.E.N. Project. So check out the website. Get a shirt or two and donate. Look around especially at the pictures.
This is what it stands for....
