Does her life matter?

Sometimes......

Sometimes there are just no words. No words to describe what you need to do or how you are supposed to feel. Sometimes you have no idea what you are doing. But in the end it is not about YOU. It is about doing all you can to help someone else, even if it seems so so small. This lovely young lady's name is Diana. She is days away from being 16, literally days. I found her photo in the Russian database. She may be listed with an agency or she may not be. She is a lost and lonely soul looking for guidance and encouragement and LOVE. She is only 3 years younger then me and probably been through more in her short time here on this earth then I  could ever experience in many life times. She has been through FEAR, REJECTION, ABANDONMENT, and if we don't step up and do something for her she will have to go through one more sad emotion and experience DISAPPOINTMENT. I cringe to thing of the life she will live if we do not step up and save her. I don't know every little detail of how to make this adoption come together, but I would be more the glad to work with you and figure this out. Please do not leave her alone, broken and abandoned. Please do everything you can to save her, no matter how silly it seems.

O Baby

                    So the title may have thrown you off a little, but this is my O baby.

"O" is short for Orson.  He is a beautiful little guy sitting in an orphanage in R*ssia waiting for his
Mama.He is four years old and absolutely stunning. He is of Middle Eastern and Russia heritage. I
am particularly impartial to sweet bronzed babes with dark hair and dark eyes but I mean come on look at that face how could you not be. Anyways back to the point. O baby has been listed on Reece's Rainbow for around 3 years now. His picture has just been sitting there patiently waiting for his mama see his face and make some adoption magic happen. I figure that I would make it a little easier on his mama and try to help his grant get a little higher before she discovers him. As of now his grant has $1,079 in it. My challenge to all of you will be to make his grant read $1,564. Why you as? because when it get to that number, when his grant has $485 more dollars in it I will personally DYE ALL OF MY HAIR PURPLE. Come on just think about it, you know you wanna see it. We have raised $15 so far . I would love to have a story to tell about how all of my orphan junkie friends helped me have a head full of purple hair. In all sincerity every single dollar counts. I know everyone says nothing is to small, and I absolutely mean that. I would be over the moon to see $1 in his grant. I have some big things in the works for this guy and I would love for you all to be a part of it. Please help me get over this first hurdle.

Thank you all so much

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.

No hope in 3 months

Say Hello to Stefan.

He is a wonderfully beautiful MIRACLE. The fact that he has made it all by himself for almost 16 years makes his him and his life a miracle. He has suffered through being rejected by his birth parents, taken to an orphanage, taken to an institution, and being passed over for a family for almost 16 years. He has survived without anyone or anything to call his own. Stefan will be a true blessing to whatever family chooses to make him their son. Stefan is only available to be adopted until this September.That is only 3 months away, but I have seen bigger miracles happen in a shorter amount of time.Please pray for Stefan and help him find his forever family.
