A Brilliant Fourth Anniversary

As many of you know, in my spare time (because I have sooooooo much of it) I do everything I can to raise funds for Reece's Rainbow - a WONDERFUL organization that helps families adopt children with Down syndrome and other cognitive or physical issues from other countries where they would otherwise be institutionalized by the age of 4. Often, these children die of neglect and malnutrition shortly after institutionalization.

This cause is VERY near and dear to my heart. These beautiful babies are just like my own Skink... it breaks my heart to think what so many of them are going through.

Reece's Rainbow was started by a mom. Not a company or some big organization... a MOM. This mom has now helped save the lives of more than 250 children!

There are many more waiting children and plenty of waiting families... but adoption is expensive and many people don't have the money to bring home the child they have already given their heart to. This is why I am looking for ways to raise funds without asking YOU for money. If you have a FaceBook account, you can help just by joining THIS PAGE. If we get enough members of the page, we may be able to get a healthy sum of money from ABC Television. It may be a one-in-a-million chance, but Betty White got to host SNL from a social networking campaign just like this.

If you DO happen to have $5, $10 or even a little more you think you could part with, every dollar helps!
You can send it directly to Reece's Rainbow:

Here is a beautiful slide show about Reece's Rainbow - enjoy!



Proverbs 24:12 "Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act."
