Helping Disabled Orphans Find Homes!

Andrea Roberts has a son with Down syndrome. When it came to her attention that children born with Down syndrome in other parts of the world are often abandoned at under-funded orphanages, and then transferred to archaic mental institutions where many die within the first year, she did something about it. Andrea founded Reece's Rainbow. This organization helps families in the U.S. fund adoptions from the Ukraine, and other eastern European countries where these children do not have a chance of having a good life.

Andrea and Reece's Rainbow was featured by People Magazine in the March 1, 2010 issue (Vol. 73, No. 8). You can view the article Here.

Now, Andrea is  in the running for People's Hero of the Year. If she wins, she will receive $10,000 - a sum that could go a long way to help many more children find forever homes. Please click this link to Vote Now!
