Sharing Sundays: MORE PRIZES-iPad, Kindle, Jewelry, Scentsy

Shannon's forever family is essentially at a stand-still on the adoption process until $5,500 is generated.  This will enable to the Sphaks to submit their dossier and then get a travel date to rescue Shannon.   They cannot do it alone and a few more prizes have been added to sweeten the pot.

Remember this little girl is living in an INSTITUTION.  She is not living in a baby orphanage.  She has indeed been transferred.  Not to mention there is only $1610 in her grant fund.

Why yes, that is an iPad2

Check it out!  Kindle!!!!

Mmmm Yummmm  A Scentsy Gift Set

Who doesn't love jewelry? Remember Christmas is just around the corner.

Again, who doesn't love jewelry?  Holiday season dear friends :)

Check out the Sphak family's blog at Faith Set Free to enter the give away.  Winners will be drawn on November 30th.  

Just a reminder that tomorrow (Monday 10/31) I will be drawing the winner of the I Love You Through & Through children's book.  To be entered into the drawing, visit here and leave a comment.

Sharing Sunday: Many Give Aways for a Good Cause

Ellie says to check out Sharing Sundays

My cyber buddy Jane over at Flight Platform Living is hosting our weekly Sharing Sundays.  Sharing Sunday is a blog hop to help families who are actively fundraising towards the adoption of children with special needs over seas.  If you want to know why I write about the orphans in Eastern Europe or know more about the state of mental institutions, please click here.

Would you want your little son or daughter living here?

On Friday, I mentioned the Sphak Family who is hosing an iPad 2 and jewelry give away to bring home Shannon.  Shannon is already in a mental institution and her family is very close to getting a travel date.

Gracie (Annie Gray)

Little Gracie is patiently waiting for her forever family, the Wests, to rescue her.  The Wests are very close to traveling and still need funds.  Learn more about their journey here.

The Jobes Family has recently committed to adopting Josiah.  He too is already in an institution and the family is moving quickly in their adoption journey.  Learn more here.

Olga

The Abell Family has been trying so hard to bring Olga home.  You have probably seen her picture before way back on "A Perfect Lily"blog.  They are selling t-shirts and other items in hopes of raising money.

Artem

Since I mentioned "A Perfect Lily", if you have not recently visited Patti's blog, go check out the awesome huge Target & Amazon gift cards give away she is hosting for a little boy Artem.  Artem does not have a forever family and for months Patti has been searching.  Perhaps you are his family?  Or perhaps you would like to increase this young boy's grant?

Do not forget I will be giving a way "I Love You Through and Through" to one commented this blog post.  The give away closed on 10/31/11.

Also, if you haven't seen this blog A Sibling for Silly Lily, head on over now as your will cry tears of happiness when you see this family who has been united with their daughter Julia.

Finally, are you fundraising or know of a family who needs help raising funds?  If you would like to listed in next week's Sharing Sunday, please contact me at thechroniclesofelliebelliebear@yahoo.com

Adios!

Sharing Sundays

I am happy to announce that The Chronicles of Ellie Bellie Bear will be apart of the Sharing Sundays blog hop.  This blog hop features families that are currently fundraising.  I know that posted some links on the Forget-Me-Not Friday hop, but today I will be sure to include photos.  After all, it is good to see just who you are helping :)

On a sad note, many of the blogs I used to share with you are no longer visible to the public.  Recently, there has been an onslaught of people making horrible comments about these families rescuing and adopting these children who are deemed as "less than worthy" over in E.E.  These comments are coming from North America and it is upsetting that so many people are not practicing acceptance.  It makes me believe that we are no better than these E.E.  True, we are not shoving our children into orphanages, but the discrimination is still running rampant and that saddens me deeply.

The links below are blogs that are still open to the public.  There are so many more that need help.

Sharing Sunday:

Olga

The Abell Family is still working very hard to get sweet Olga home.

Albina

Albina's Family still needs funds to bring her home to her forever family.

Shawna and Lindsey

The Eubanks family still need significant funds to bring home Shawna and Lindsey.  There dossier has just been submitted and they are desperate for funds as they will receive their travel date soon!

Shannon

The Sphak family is still selling "orphan bracelets" to raise money for the adoption of Shannon.  Shannon is in an institution right now because she is "too old" for the baby house  / orphanage.  Significant funds are needed and this family has had a hard time raising money through fundraising.
