Love for Kids who are HIV+ (and a few random notes)

       Hi friends! A few random notes to start out with. First, the 21 Days of Hope Campaign for Reece's Rainbow is still going on. So far, three kids with Down Syndrome have gotten at $2100 grant and there are 18 more in line to benefit. You can read more and give at http://reecesrainbow.org/21daysofhope.  My Angel Tree kiddo Nikolajs is number 17 out of 21 to benefit, so of course I am hoping that the whole campaign makes it!
         Second, my current family warrior family, the Greene family is in country to pick up their son "A." I am excited to share that they currently believe that they are fully funded! They also hope to be able to travel home in less than two weeks from now. Once they are home, I"ll look for a new family to shout for.
     OK, so far I spent last month advocating for kids with special needs who are called "Other Angels" on Reece's Rainbow. I started out this month with mentioning the kids with Down Syndrome since the 21 Days of Hope specifically targets these kids. The final category of kids left are those who are HIV+. Some of these kids are receiving regular medical treatment.
      Meet Prudence! She is 3 years old and lives in Africa.  Her grant has recently increased to $1,144 to help with her adoption expenses. You can read more about Prudence at http://reecesrainbow.org/87778/prudence.
      Next, meet 13-year-old Zebadiah! He lives in Asia and his adoption must be completed by his birthday is July of 2015 or he will age out and be ineligible for adoption.  You can read more about him at http://reecesrainbow.org/67210/zebadiah.

      Next, this is Raul who lives in Eastern Europe. Raul has the advantage of having a detailed description from a family who spent significant time with him. He is currently 12 years old. Please read more about Raul at http://reecesrainbow.org/63528/raul.
      Finally, meet Delphine who is currently four years old and lives in Latin America.  Delphine probably has special needs in addition to HIV and needs a family that is ready to love her unconditionally. You can read about Delphine at http://reecesrainbow.org/78756/delphine.
