Her Life in our hands

Im not really sure how to begin this post, I just know that my heart is hurting and breaking. Today I have seen an updated picture of a little girl that I check in on through RR frequently.Her name is Marla and she is 5 years old.

She is an absolutely beautiful girl and deserves all the love in the world. It is killing me to know that she has gotten so much worse. She obviously not getting very much attention or love or even basic care. I cannot believe that this is what children have to live through day in and day out.She needs her family to get her and to get her right now. She is about to be transferred to an Adult Mental Institution where she will more then likely get much worse (if that is even possible) or die. She needs the kingdom of God to step up for her.To pray for her. To advocate for her. To realize they are her family and pray for her. Please do all you can for Marla. Her life is literally in our hands. Pleas do not let her down.

16 and life

I was at work the other day singing lyrics to myself and my mental radio started playing 18 and life by skid row. It reminded me that kids who are institutions are not sentenced to 18 and life, they are sentenced to 16 and life. SIXTEEN years old and your entire future is decided for you. SIXTEEN years old. What were you doing at 16? Sneaking out, trying to find a date on a Saturday night, bowling with friends, enjoying the fact that it is SUMMER. Do you know what these kids are doing? NOTHING...and I mean NOTHING. They are not talking, or walking, or playing outside. They are sitting in a disgusting and boring room full of other people.. adults even who are rocking back and forth because of the lack of stimulation and LOVE. These are adults who so many years ago were beautiful babes born just a little different. Babies that their society said was unacceptable.

There are a total of 64 waiting on www.reecesrainbow.org that have been listed for years. Just waiting and hoping that their families would find them only to be disappointed day after day.

Children like Jason:

who is in a remote institution. Who is 9 years old. Who has not had an updated photo in almost three years.


Children like Adam:

Who has waited 11 long years for a mama of his own.

Children like Samantha and Kristina who are sisters and more then anything need to be in a loving family TOGETHER:

Children like Bobby:

Who are so gentlemanly and old worldly and kind.

Children like Heath:

Who have been rallied for time and again and who wait and wonder all because people or scared. Scared of the funds. Scared of jumping without a parachute. Scared of the unknowns and what they cant see. Scared to solely rely on God and his grace.

As you look into the eyes of each of these children please do not let fear dictate your life and for that matter do not let your fear dictate their lives. Stare into all of these faces as if you were staring into the face of God. Think not with your head but FEEL your heart.

I NEED HELP...

ATTENTION ALL:
I need help in a BAD way. The lovely Ms. Melissa Price Lorenz agreed to do a scentsy fundraiser where 20 % of the proceeds will go to one boy that I chose out of a list of names that had been nominated for The Forgotten Boys group. The fundraiser has been up for about 3 weeks and so far we have only made 2 sales :(

 The proceeds were originally supposed to got to Kody, but during the process he found his forever family so I decided to chose another child out of the nominated names and came up with Jason.

As of now he only has $52 in his grant fund. He is in a remote institution, which means he is basically in the middle of nowhere and not getting the best of care. I would really love to grow his grant fund to at least a $100 if not more. I am  begging, please do not this fundraiser be an utter disaster. Please help me spread the word for this precious boy and pray every night that he finds his forever family. If we don't come together and rally for him then no one will. He has been listed for 2 and a half years that I know of. and has already spent 9 years without the love that he truly deserves.

Thanks for reading....Please feel free to re-post this any and everywhere.
