Finally. Finally it almost my favorite time of year again. It is so close that I can almost taste it. Just kidding, that would be kinda weird. Anyways, this years Reece's Rainbow Angel Tree starts in just 3 days!!! And I am super pumped about it.
This year, I have agreed to raising $1000 for not only one but two boys with Down syndrome. Marlowe and Nicholas have already got me wrapped around their little fingers.
Nicholas is four years old. He is physical developmentally on target for his age. He plays well with others and walks while holding onto something. He is very responsive and would THRIVE in a family.
Marlowe is fourteen years old. He has Down Syndrome, Inborn cardiac malformation – persisting arterial channel, Lung hypertonia, Severe lagging behind in his development. He walks with help from an adult. Marlowe is nonverbal. He is a very calm young man.
All donations between November 1st and December 31st count towards the $1000 goal I have to raise for each child.
All donations go directly to their adoption grants that will be accessible by the family that commits to adopting them.
If you make a donation of $35 of more you can get an ornament with a picture of them on it.
I have God on my side for this and I have no doubt that He won't get me through this. He put it on my heart to do it and He will get me through it.
If this is your first time reading my blog, Reece's Rainbow is an orphan advocacy site advocating specifically for orphans with special needs. Every year they do an Angel Tree which is just a way of fundraising for the children's adoption grant. This is my third year in a row doing it and I just love it. I have reached my goal every year so far. God gave me a burden to help the fatherless and this is one of my favorite ways to work through that burden.
Come back soon!
God Bless,
Dakota
