Angels without Pictures

       Every November and December, Reece's Rainbow runs the Angel Tree Fundraiser which aims to raise adoption grants for hundreds of kids waiting for a family. This year, there are still 138 kids who have not yet met the goal of raising an additional $1000 to add to their adoption grant. Time is short! This fundraiser ends at midnight on December 31st. Please click here to meet all of these kids and pick one or more to give a donation to.
        On the Angel Tree, you will see many adorable faces pictured. Maybe you will be drawn to donate to Nels who is currently the closest to meeting his $1000 goal.

      Or maybe you will be captured by the beautiful Cara who currently has only $500 in her grant and is the lowest at the moment. Any of these kids would benefit from your generous gifts and are in need of a loving family.



    But I hope you will also consider giving to a child who is not allowed to have their picture shared on a public website. These are real kids with real personalities and real needs for a family! The laws in their country are intended to protect their privacy, but they actually limit their chances at finding a family. Our family is advocating for Nikolajs for the third year in a row.   His handsome face hangs on our Christmas tree. My kids pray often for "Nikky" and have held a lemonade stand and toy sale for him, have made duct tape hairbows for him, and have helped with a book exchange for him. The past two years, he met his $1000 goal. This year, his grant reads $772 with only a few days left. Would you help us meet the goal this year? Would you share his need for a family? 

       There are other kids on Angel Tree this year who have not met their goal and do not have the advantage of a photo to share publicly. Please consider giving to Shelley, Angelica, Jordan, Adonai, or Crystal! Your donations make a difference.
