1000 for Freddie

Grab This Button

...ok you all, here I am again ...with a heartfelt shove pushing for Freddie and his family. Really you all, his adoption will change his future. You see, Freddie is 15 and in a eastern European orphanage -- at sixteen he will be out on the streets without hope, without a future, without the medicine to manage his epilepsy. Literally out on the street, with no where to go, no money, no food, and like so many others he might have to turn to desperate means just to try and survive.



Please, consider giving ten dollars to help Freddie get home. He has grown up watching other kids get adopted and had wondered why he hasn't, he thinks its because of his epilepsy. It is not, like I said before a wonderful, wonderful family want to go get him. They are trying to adopt him and love him and he doesn't even know it.

So, this is the 1000 for Freddie. If 1000 people donated just 10 dollars, his family would have all the money they need to save him from this fate. I myself will be contributing this payday. Thank you so much everyone for listening, and watching, and caring. If you cannot contribute, use your blog, your facebook, your myspace, your instant messenger, your newspaper, whatever means you can to reach these 1000 people. Maybe donate to his puzzle fundraiser. We can change this boy's future.

Donate to bring Freddie home, HERE.

Thanks again.

Oh Little Miss Lera...

...my heart goes out for this sweet child. This is an urgent plea. Hopefully it will be spread across the internet like wildfire, hopefully someone out there will meet the requirements and be able to step forward for this precious little girl.

For the third time, Lera has lost her adoptive family. At this point there will be no way to keep her out of an institution [where they send special needs orphans in her country]. From what I understand she can still be adopted -if the US delegation is able to convince Russia to leave their program open to Americans. Canadian families may be able to adopt Lera as well. But since she has lost so many families, to adopt her, at this point, only home study ready families will be considered and no match will be made until the initial agency fees are paid. Needless to say -- her situation is critical and the conditions are very specific. Are you her family or maybe know someone whom might be? Please pray for her and blog about her, please pass her information along.

For more information about Lera please contact Andrea Roberts at www.reecesrainbow.com

This Sweet Baby...

...is known as Andrea. She is a little girl in Eastern Europe that was born in 2006, so the picture is a little old -- and its a awful picture. I have read this baby's lips are not this full or this red. She has been on my heart almost since the day I found Reece's Rainbow. Is she your little girl? For more information on Andrea please click this link. You may have to scroll down a little to find where she is at on the page.

This Precious Little Girl...

Has just gone through heart surgery. She is in a medically induced coma and has had some complications. They feel she is getting better. Please pray for her and her family.

One More Coming Home...

...my good friend Kimmie and her knight are flying out to Ethiopia to bring home their new sweet princess! Its a beautiful amazing thing and it has been an amazing story! Stop by and visit them today.

Freddie Needs Funds...

...hi all. Is me again, stopping in real quick to tell you again about one of the older boys at Reece's Rainbow -Freddie. Ever since I found the website a couple years ago I worried about one of the kids there, he was 13 at the time, I think, epileptic and living in an eastern European orphanage. This was not good at all - first, like most kids in east Europe orphanages; when he turned sixteen he would be out on the streets, but he would have Epilepsy, a treatable medical condition [I know, I was diagnosed with it myself at age 19. I am in my 30's now and have had only two seizures since.] But out on the street, he would have no treatment. Also, this poor boy has watched other kids get adopted so many times, and not him. And he is a smart boy, he has asked if it was because of his Epilepsy.

Goodness, child, no. I kept thinking over and over again. Like Mara, I would have gone for him if only I possibly could. But for Freddie, you absolutely HAD to be married. So I checked almost every day, hoping someone could see past his age -- well -- someone finally did. A very beautiful family that had been watching him too. You can meet them here.

Freddie will soon be 15. This family has all the love that he can ever ask for and he doesn't even know that someone [alot of someones] really do love him and want him. All that stands in the way is the dollars to get there. What do you say folks? Is your three dollars better spent on a cheeseburger or a child's life? If everyone gave just a few bucks [or posted this on thier blogs if they really cannot] together we can get him out of there and HOME, where he needs to be. Please all, don't just read this, hop on over and paypal her a few dollars today? Post about them to your blog today? Thanks you all.

Always,
Debrah in Arizona

PS: Might be another post out today or soon that I wrote on the 6'th -- but I am nervous to post it. Take care.

Happy Easter!

Camille...

...reminds me very much of Diana. She wants someone to love her too. Will someone please see past the pic of her wearing a boys pajama top and ..whatever those are for pants? Could she be your little girl? Please click here for more info about Camille. You may have to scroll down the page a bit to find her.

Happy 10'th Birthday Mara!

My Brother's Wedding...

...was on the 12'th! Congratulations to my brother Michael and sister in law Rhi, and to my little nephew, Mikey the III. Happy ever after, you guys! From me.

Mindy's Family...

...I mentioned in the post below that little miss Mindy has a family! For those of you whom would like to meet them you can meet them here. :)

Happy March!

...well, here it is, month 3 of 2010! Can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday I was writing this entry. Time does fly, doesn't it? I meant to tie up February with this post but didn't get to it in time.

But guess what, February was a good month. I am a writer and my first book was released, which is good because I need to bring a particular income bracket up in order to move forward with my something crazy, that I posted about in this entry. Also guess what! MINDY had a family commit to her! Yay! What a sweet little girl. Thank you... thank you God.

Take care everyone. See you around. Happy March.

Marching Around Jericho...

Hey you all, remember these guys - Hope and Chance? Currently, they are in their fourth home of their trip and have seen so many people along the way. One of the common themes that seem to come up is how once they are in your hands the outpouring of love and prayers gone before over them are actually felt. It is amazing, I know, because I have had and held them.

What I am about to say might be taken the wrong way by some, but that is not my intention, sometimes I don't word things the best way. But another thing that surfaces when these dolls are in your care and it is your turn to share their purpose and story you suddenly may become nervous about it, you feel may like changing your mind and you think that maybe people will think you are silly for wanting to share dolls with a message to them. Personally, when they were in my care, I argued with myself almost an entire night about if I should hide them in the back instead of having them out front at the desk with me at work. In the end, I knew, that hiding them was not the intention these dolls were created for and this was something God wanted ...how could I hide something God wanted? Others, since Hope and Chance were with me, have related it to feeling silly and have reasoned it out as well by using the 'March Around Jericho' approach. Sure, it probably looked silly to march around Jericho for six or seven days -- but they did it, and look at the result.

That said, I am not saying this is up there with that particular march. At the same time I am not degrading its worth and value and saying it is not. What I am saying is that simply in the same vein - this is God's work --

[and just now I almost took that out and had to stop myself from doing so, because that also would be hiding it just as putting the dolls away would have, as I know there are some that do not believe in God that come here, people whom I consider friends, we have always stayed respectful to each others beliefs, thank you so much and I love you too!]

-- and I am blessed to be a part of it. Please pray for the Orphan Dolls in your prayers, that their mission to teach people that we are called to help orphans -and widows, lets not forget the beautiful widows[ers], everywhere. Ask yourself what you can do to help and visit their website and share their story today.

Hugs all, and take care.

Oh yes! Still working for little Mara and Freddie! See ya later and take care.

"Every now and then we hold in our hands the power to change someone's life. Never in our own strength, but by the leading of the Holy Spirit. There are occasions when we have the opportunity to make a profound difference in the life of another human being--whether it be a child, an elderly person or anyone else. God just gives us those incredible opportunities to be His hands and feet on this earth."

Yeah! Another quote of 'no truer words', this one goes with the post about Mindy below. Someone please go and save Mindy...

Mindy...

Tomorrow, January 30, is sweet little Mindy's fourth birthday. For a baby like her to turn four in an orphanage is not a good thing, while most four year olds are getting cake and presents and learning about what a birthday is Mindy, for Mindy's fourth birthday she will be getting an immediate transfer to a mental institution quite possibly like this one, where she can never be adopted from, there to stay for what will most probably will be a very short life.

Like with Martin, there is no way to make this post happy. The only way possible is for someone to step forward right now to commit to adopting Mindy, not tomorrow, not next week, not next month - right now. This minute. Because tomorrow, the 30'th of January...

...is Mindy's 4'th birthday.

And please, this isn't a guilt trip, I can't go save her either, this is just a plea, a shout out, a last chance? Maybe you are that someone who can go and save her? If you are here you are most probably thinking about adoption in some way or shape or form, why just read? Why not throw it all out on the line? Please go to Reece's Rainbow and ask the lady in charge there about Mindy. If you tell her this is Mindy's birthday she will know exactly who she is. Look at this picture. You really can save her life.

Please Grab This Button!
URGENT PLEA!
