The Agony of a Child... | Reece's Rainbow Waiting Child

Have you ever seen a child in prison?

If not, please take a look...

Sweet Jason is behind bars...

He is TIED to the bed rails...

Can you see his agony and distress?

Rocking, Rocking, Twisting, Turning...

But still he is not free...

Poor Jason lives in an institution...

He has been deprived of the love and cuddles...

The hugs and kisses...

The opportunity to play and explore and learn...

This sensory deprivation and lack of love have led him to stimulate himself in any way he can...

By rocking and twisting and turning...

And by hitting himself...

HARD...

You can see the bruise on his head in the picture below...

He is tied to protect him from himself...

And to keep him controlled since there aren't enough caregivers to keep up with such an active boy if he were on the loose...

Poor, sweet, child...

He needs therapy to help him cope and heal...

To help him maximize his potential...

He needs someone to believe in him and give him a chance...

A chance to know the joy of freedom and love!

It will not be easy...

But he is worth it...

His live matters...

He is a REAL child...

With a REAL heart...

That is STARVED for love and stimulation..

Oh how he needs a chance!

You can read Jason's profile HERE.

You can learn more about the adoption process HERE.

Jason has a wonderful advocate who shared these videos and some of this information...

She has recently blogged about a fundraiser giveaway for him!

You can visit her blog HERE for details.

Please pray for Jason!

He DESPERATELY needs a family!

*****

No post is complete without Emmitt...

Please continue to pray for him to be able to have a family too!

They almost look like brothers! | Reece's Rainbow Waiting Children

Sad ...

And forlorn...

Will no one ever choose us?

Please, Oh please...

Take note of us...

We need families too!

Guess which one of us this is?

Why this is darling Russ!

Just look how sweet and handsome...

He has grown to be!

And here's another...

Who is he?

Why this is hansom Arnold!

Look how much he's grown!

And he's even found a smile!

What fine sons these boys would make!

They almost look like brothers!

Oh where...

Oh WHERE can we find their Mom and Dad?

These sweet boys are facing transfer to an institution soon...

How dreadful that will be :(

Please hurry and share...

So their faces can be seen...

To help them find a family...

And save them from their fate!

Such lovely boys...

Deserve to know...

What family's all about!

Could either (or both?) of them be yours?

Don't forget "my" Emmitt and the renovation project at his institution!

You can find the link to make a tax deductible donation towards the Orphanage 67 renovation project at the top left corner of my sidebar!

You can read more about the renovation project HERE.

Guess Where?

Guess where this place is?

No idea?

Maybe this next picture will help...

It has to do with...

"My" sweet Emmitt!

That's right!

These are pictures from Emmitt's orphanage complex - Orphanag 67!

There are three buildings at the institution...

But only TWO are in use...

Because of this the residents are overcrowded!

The third building is currently unusable due to disrepair...

But their is good news!

Life2Orphans has been given permission to help with renovations!

We have an opportunity to make a difference!

When the building is repaired the children will be able to be spread out between the buildings...

This will allow a place for a PLAY AREA in each of the rooms!

The first phase of the project is to raise $4000 for new windows...

To protect the children from the cold in winter...

And the sweltering heat of summer!

I hope that Emmtt will soon have a family...

He has a small window of time yet to be adopted...

I pray he'll get out in time!

But there are many in his institution who sadly will not have that opportunity...

And we have the opportunity to make their lives at least a little bit more comfortable!

If you are able I encourage you to make a donation by pressing the link below...

Life2Orphans/Orphanage 67 Fundraiser

Donations are tax deductible in the US!

Even if you are unable to donate at this time...

You can still make a difference by your prayers...

And by sharing this need with others!

Thanks SO much to Life2Orphans for giving permission to use these pictures from their website to help raise funds for this worthy project!
