Meet Charles!

Charles is the child I have chosen as my Reece's Rainbow Angel Tree child for this year.  I am very excited to be participating this year.  I have committed to raising a minimum of $1000 for Charles adoption grant fund from November 1 - December 31, 2014.  I hope you will join me in celebrating the season by giving whatever you can toward Charles adoption grant.  If you donate a minimum of $35  to his grant between November 1 - December 31, 2014, you will receive an ornament with Charles picture.  What a great gift for that person who is difficult to buy for!  Donate to a child in need and give the ornament as a gift.  Maybe they will help pray for a family to come forward and adopt Charles.

Charles is ten years old and has been transferred from the orphanage to an adult institution.  He needs his family to find him sooner than later!

Adoption is an expensive process.  Tens of thousands of dollars, months of preparation, an intrusion into the life of your family, your finances, your past and future.  Fingerprinting, interviews, involvement of the adoption agency, the government and so many others.  This is a task not taken lightly.  For many, despite the sometimes maddening process, it is only the cost that holds them back from stepping forward for a child they know in their hearts is theirs.  They have the money for the home study, finger printing, specially prepared documents but then there is the travel costs, VISA, passport, medical exams for the child.  If only the money were there for that, maybe they could make the commitment.

This is where those of us who support these families and most especially the orphans, come in to play.  Maybe you don't have tens of thousands of dollars either but maybe you know ten people who have five or ten dollars and they each know five or ten people who also have five or ten dollars.  Some may have $100 or $1000 they can spare.  It all adds up.  If a child has a large adoption grant, it is so much easier for a family to take the steps to call that child their own.  So many would commit, if only for the cost.

Won't you help just this one?  Whatever you can give, it will be a blessing to Charles future family.

If you donate $35 or more, you will receive a 2014 Reece's Rainbow Angel Tree  ornament with a picture of Charles on the back.  What a wonderful gift for that special person who has everything.

Please pray for Charles , that he will be safe while he waits for his family to find him.  Pray for his family to know he is theirs

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
