Beautiful Brandi | Reece's Rainbow Waiting Child

Beautiful Brandi just bubbles with joy!

Well, actually I've never met her....

So I can't say for sure...

But if you look at this picture...

She looks full of joy!

Sweet little Brandi has cerebral palsy and a hearing problem...

But she doesn't let her challenges kill her joy!

She probably has a caregiver that loves her...

Who fixed her hair and dressed her up pretty for her picture!

But she likely won't be able to stay with her long...

She's already 5 1/2 years old...

Which means her time in the baby orphanage is running out!

Each day brings her closer to a terrible fate...

A move to a mental institution...

That's right...

In her country most children with physical or mental disabilities are transferred to mental institutions at the young age of 4-6 years old...

Yikes...

Can you imagine this beautiful, sweet child there?

The terrible conditions in these institutions could very well lead her to depression and despair...

Her smile could disappear (wouldn't yours?)...

With nothing but moans and groans to listen to...

Nothing to do but rock, wave your hands, or bang your head...

It could drive the bravest to despair!

I hope sweet Brandi can stay in the baby house till a family can come for her...

Or that she will be transferred to a facility for high functioning children and receive some education...

But it may not be possible!

She needs a Mom and Dad ASAP...

To save her from her terrible fate...

To make sure she keeps that beautiful smile...

Imagine this beautiful sunshine sitting at your family table!

Could you be her Mama?

Or maybe help her find one by sharing her story with others?
