My friend-whom-I’ve-never-met, Leila Miller, has two
great blogs. The first is “Little Catholic Bubble”; this is a wonderful blog
with lots of great pro-life stuff and more – check it out.
Leila’s second blog, Orphan Report, was born of her discovery of Reece’sRainbow, an organization that promotes adoption of Down syndrome children – and
any other orphans needing new families. She highlights
children from the Reece’s Rainbow site, advocating for their cause, and
engaging in a little fundraising here and there.
A daily dose of Orphan
Report will make you very much aware of your blessings. These are some of
the saddest stories around – there are some really awful orphanages out there! –
but there is so much hope, too, because people are responding to the need and
are adopting these little ones from all over the world.
Today, I’m highlighting “Declan”, whose “guardian angel” is
promoting his cause and trying to raise funds for his adoption (it’s very
expensive to adopt internationally!). The angel, Jennie, makes this offer at her
blog:
Help Declan and Win a Kindle
Fire!
What do a Kindle Fire and a
2-year-old orphan have in common? They both have a lot of spark! (Bad joke, I
know).
This week and next I'll be
raffling off a Kindle Fire to help Declan find his family!
Little Declan is almost three
years old (just a little older than Hannah) and is looking for a Mama of his
own. He is described as “lively" and "cheerful,” with a "calm
and kind personality." Just look at what a cutie he is!
He lives in an orphanage in
Russia and apparently no one visits him. How can that be?
Together
we can help bring Declan home! By donating to Declan’s Reece’s Rainbow fund
here or mentioning him on Facebook, you have a chance at winning a brand
new Kindle Fire. [See Jennie's blog for the details on entering the drawing. And yes, I would love to win the Kindle Fire - but I would love even more to see this little guy find a family.]
