Let me explain. Each year from November-December, Reece's Rainbow does an Angel Tree. The children listed are all international orphans who happen to have Down Syndrome. They are pretty cute, too! In several countries outside the US, children with disabilities are often given up at birth. If not adopted the child will be sent to a mental institution at 4-5 years old. There are families who would love to adopt these children, but adoption is expensive. When you choose a child on the Angel Tree, and make a donation, the money will go into a grant fund to be used to help fund that child's adoption. The children with large grants are most likely to find adoptive families. The goal of the Angel Tree is to raise at least $1000 for each child's grant.
For donations of $35 or more, you will get a photo ornament with a picture of the child. A gift card is included if you are donating a gift in honor of someone special.
Here are the two angels that I sponsored this year: Amanda (in yellow) and Nana (in pink). No, those are probably not their given names. Amanda is almost 3 and Nana almost 2. They are cute, aren't they?
If you are still hesitant, meet the little girl I sponsored last year: Anastasiya! The top picture in the blue outfit is from the Angel Tree last year, and the picture in the red outfit is more recent. She has a family in the process of adopting her now! It is so exciting to see what the Lord is doing in her life! I still have her ornament and instead of putting it on my tree, I have it out in my room to remind me to pray for her and for her family!
So your Christmas is just not complete without one or two little faces on your Christmas tree? Click this bubble and select a child who has less than $1000 in their fund. Maybe next Christmas, or the Christmas after, your little angel will be celebrating with his or her forever family!
