Forget Me Not Fridays: Give Aways!

Ellie

This is my daughter Ellie.  She is a beautiful, spunky little girl who loves to get into mischief.  She also has Down syndrome.  Had she been born in E.E., the doctors would have tried their hardest to convince us that she is better of in an orphanage.  That she belongs there because she is not worthy.  Eventually, come age of 4 or 5, she she would be sent to live in an institution where she would live out her days tied to a crib and possibly drugged.  All children are worthy of life whether they have 46 or 47 chromosomes.  The children featured in today's post are living our their lives in orphanages or institutions.  They have forever families who love them so and they are actively fundraising to bring them home. . . to rescue them.   




Above is Terri Lynn.  Sweet little angel was recently transferred to an institution.  The photo on the left is Terri Lynn in the orphanage.  On the right, the little lovie appears drugged and bruised.  On the right, the photo was taken just 3 weeks after being in the institution.

Let's help these precious children.

I know that money is tight. Believe me, I know.  Consider collecting your loose change or giving up that morning latte.  Every little bit counts.  It adds up.  Just think if all of my followers gave up their lattes for a week!  Even if you cannot give, there are other ways to help--repost my blog so that more people can learn about the plight of these orphans, become a prayer warrior through Reece's Rainbow, and pray.

  2. Thank you for giving ways to help. I read this and cry because it feels so overwhelming. There are so many babies that deserve a mamas love. Praying for all of them.
