Victory for Nikolajs

Nikolajs' name means...

Victory of the People...


But he needs an army to make the victory possible!

You see, Nikolajs

 lives in an orphanage...

And while orphanages are meant to care for children who's family cannot care for them due to death, illness, family circumstances or sadly, abandonment due to the child's special needs...

Orphanages can never fully give a child the degree of love and nurture that a family can...

It's just not the same...

Caregivers are spread thin between so many children...

They just can't give them the same one on one attention that families can.

Sweet Nikolajs looks like he needs a good dose of Mama-love to put a smile on his face...

But before that can happen...

His Mama has to FIND him!

And that's where the army comes in!

Sweet Nikolajs needs an army of people to share his need and his picture on Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, and by word of mouth...


You never know - one of your friends or acquaintances could be his Mom or Dad!

They may have an empty place in their family that only he can fill...

But they don't know it yet!

They may never have heard of Nikolajs and his need for love and a family...

They may not know what a blessing they are missing without him...

Sure there will be challenges...

Every warrior has them before the victory's won...

But that will make the victory that much sweeter!

One of those challenges will be finances for the adoption costs...

Thankfully Nikolajs is listed on Reece's Rainbow...

And has the privilege of being one of the children featured on their angel tree fundraiser this year...

During angel tree, warriors work hard to try raise $1,000 to add to adoption grants to help with the adoption expenses for the featured children...

So far Nikolajs has received $501.88 in angel tree donations...


So he has a ways to reach his goal...

ARMY...

Where are you?

It's time to rally for Nikolajs' Victory!

Victory #1 - Meet $1,000 Angel Tree goal
Victory #2 - Find Nikolajs' Family
Victory #3 - Get him HOME where he belongs!

Can you be part of Nikolajs' army and help him meet his victory goals?

You can help by sharing...
You can help by giving a tax-deductible donation to his adoption fund...
Donatill receive a special Christmas ornament with Nikolajs' picture on it!



But even $5 will help boost him towards his goal!

You can read more about Nikolajs' or donate to his grant fund by clicking on his name in this post or by clicking HERE!

Won't you join Nikolajs' Army today?

You will have the privilege of being part of his victory!

And while your at it...

Don't forget my little Peter...


He has $510.50 toward his  Angel Tree goal so far...

And still needs help to reach his $1,000!

He needs a family too...

Army...

Peter needs you too!

Two more amazing party guests - Best Friends who hope to be Forever Brothers!

Two more guests have arrived for Peter's Party!


And they are lovely boys indeed!

Marty and Gary are foster brothers and best friends!


They are both waiting for a family of their own...

And would love to be adopted together!

Gary is a very polite boy who loves to sing and is good with children...


He wants to be a teacher when he grows up.

Gary will be 12 in February.

Marty is good with computers, knows a lot of English words, and wants to be a teacher when he grows up!


Marty is already 13...

So his time is running out...

According to the rules of his country he must be adopted before his 14th birthday (next November)...

Or he will be ineligible for adoption...

Recently the agency interviewed the boys again about the possibility of adoption...

And this is what Marty said...

“This is the third time you have come here to meet with us… Why don’t we have a family yet?” 

Poor sweet boy!

No child should have to wait and hope for a family...

Family is a basic right!

But while Marty desperately wants a family...

Listen to what else he said...

“but if you can’t find me a family it will be OK because in the future I will be able to help other children find forever homes.” 

Sweet, sweet boy!

Do you have room for these sweet boys in your home?


They would make amazing sons!

To help with their adoption costs...

Each boy has a $3,000 agency grant...

And no required orphanage donation!

You can read more about these sweet boys by clicking on their names:

MARTY and GARY

You can read more about the adoption process HERE.

*****

I would like to thank Gary's and Marty's advocate for introducing these sweet boys to me and for donating to Peter to help him reach his angel tree goal...

To bring these lovely children to his party!

Please consider sharing to help MARTY and GARY  and Peter find their families and to help Peter reach his angel tree goal!


The party's not full yet...

There's still room for more!

Need a last minute stocking stuffer...

Or a fun way teach your kids the joy of helping others?

Angel Tree Dollars are a great choice!

You can buy angel tree dollars...

Give them to your friends and loved ones for Christmas...

And your child,  family member or friend gets to go to Angel Tree...

And choose what child they want the donation to go to!

Perhaps they can make their chosen angel tree child their prayer child for the year...

And pray them home to their forever family!

Peter's First Party Guests!


Peter's guests have begun to arrive!


So far we have EIGHT to introduce...

The first to arrive was dear little Boden...


What a cutie he is!

He loves to snuggle!

Sadly he was abandoned at 3 years old...

And is still waiting for a family to make him their forever son!
(He's 7 now - don't let him grow up without a family of his own!)

He also needs help meeting his $1,000 Angel Tree goal!
($63 has been raised so far!)
His advocate has a Facebook page for him called Pennies for Boden - check it out HERE!
She is selling Children's (and adult) books to raise money for him - maybe you can find a Christmas present for someone on your list and help Boden at the same time!

******
Next to arrive is sweet little Crystal...


Though her country does not allow her picture to be displayed publicly...

She is a REAL little girl...

With pretty dark brown hair and eyes...

Who needs a real Mom or Dad like you!

Crystal also needs help reaching her $1,000 Angel Tree goal!
($121.50 has been raised so far.)

*****

Lovely Laura was next to arrive...


She's said to be sweet, joyful, affectionate...

And she loves to laugh!

She is in a bilingual orphanage so she can understand some English!

What a lovely daughter she will be...

If she just gets the chance!

*****

Then there is Kambry...


She's gentle and shy...

Waiting for a family of her very own...

To tell her what a treasure she is!

*****

Adelaide, what a sweet little Miss!


She does well in her school work, and loves to help...

She'd make her Mom and Dad so proud...

But they haven't found her yet...

Is she yours?

****

Neal - what a darling...


Just listen to what he tells his caregivers every morning when he wakes up...

"I know my Mama is coming."

He's counting on you...

Won't you make his dream come true?

*****

Lovely Gertie is already 12...


But don't let that frighten you!

She likes to draw, memorize songs and poems...

And studies hard in school!

She needs a family to cheer her on...

And tell her how special she is!

After all big girls need Mom's too!

*****

Abigail is said to be a social butterfly...


Who is always smiling and joyful!

Oh just imagine what a treasure you'd have...

If you make this sweet girl your own!

*****

Thanks so much to those who donated to Peter to help him reach his angel tree goal...
