It's ANGEL TREE Time!
Every year in November and December Reece's Rainbow has a special fundraiser where advocates try to raise $1000 for each child on the "Tree."
Anyone who donate's $35* or more to one of the children on the tree will receive a photo Christmas ornament with the child's picture on it.
These ornaments can be used as gifts or hung on your own tree to remind you to pray for your child or share his/her story with friends.
*NOTE* $5 of the donation goes to cover the cost of the ornament and shipping and 10% of each donation goes to help all the children by keeping the wonderful charity Reece's Rainbow going so it can continue to be a voice for these children who need the love of adoptive families!
This year I have the privilege of advocating for sweet little Micah!
Isn't he a darling?
Micah is 3 years old and lives in an orphanage in an Asian country...
His profile says he is close to his caregivers and gets along well with other children...
He loves music and playing with toys...
And his favorite toy is a ball!
Imagine if Micah had a family of his own...
A Mom and Dad to give him the love and attention he needs...
Siblings to play with...
Stories at bedtime...
Mama's soothing voice as she rocks him too sleep and sings him a lullaby!
Micah is waiting for these simple pleasures...
The money raised for his grant fund will help to cover adoption expenses for the family who chooses to adopt him...
And most important of all, through prayers and sharing his story...
Hopefully soon a family will see him and choose to make him their son!
You can help by donating (donations are tax deductible in the US!)...
Sharing this blogpost on Facebook...
Sharing his story with your friends and acquaintances...
And by praying that God will find his family...
So that soon sweet Micah will be able to live in a family of his very own...
Who will love and cherish him always!
To donate to Micah CLICK HERE to go to the Angel Tree...
Scroll down until you find Micah's Picture...
And select Buy Ornament if you want Micah's ornament...
Or just donate if you would like to donate more or less than $35 or if you already have his ornament and would like to make an additional donation.
As an incentive to donate to my boy...
If you donate $5 I will put a Reece's Rainbow child of your choice on my blog sidebar (One child for each $5)...
AND...
I will include your chosen child(ren) in a blog post!
It can be your angel tree child...
Or any other waiting child on your heart...
Or I can put the family sponsorship link with the child's picture if the child has a committed family already...
In addition I will put your chosen child/ren in a drawing for a $25 donation to the winner's grant fund!
Don't have money to donate right now?
That's OK!
You can still help by sharing this blogpost!
To enter the drawing for the $25 grant fund donation:
$5 to Micah = 3 entries to the drawing for a $25 donation for one child/family of your choice!
(And the $5 donation also entitles your child to inclusion in a blog post and a place on my blog sidebar for at least 6 months {space permitting}).
1 Share of this blog post (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) = 1 entry for the $25 donation for one child/family of your choice!
In order to have your child included please...
LET ME KNOW WHICH CHILD(REN)
you want me include in the drawing and on my sidebar and blog post!
($5 donation to Micah per child)
And in the case of sharing the blog post which child you want entered into the drawing.
You can let me know by commenting on this blog post.
I won't publish donation amounts if you don't want me too - just let me know.
If you don't have a child in mind for the drawing...
You can choose one by Clicking Here to visit Reece's Rainbow's waiting children.
I can't wait to see which beautiful children will be on my sidebar...
And I look forward to watching Micah's grant fund grow!
Thank you for helping Micah!
*****
While Micah is my focus these next two months...
I also want you to see 2 other sweet kids who need families!
They are not on Angel Tree this year...
But I want to give them visibility by including them in Micah's blogposts...
To increase their chance of finding families too!
You can read about Maxim and Evalyn on their Reece's Rainbow profiles by clicking on their names above.
