Angel Tree

Reece's Rainbow's

Angel Tree 2011

This is a wonderful way to help children during the Christmas season.

The Angel Tree page, which can be found here http://static.reecesrainbow.org/angeltreekids/,

lists the children who need the most help.
Nana is listed!

By donating just $35, you will get a beautiful Reece's Rainbow Christmas tree ornament.

This is a great idea for Christmas gifts,

both to give and to receive!

What better way to honor the birthday of the King of kings than to take care of one of his children?

"And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"

-Matthew 25:40

Why Help?

For a child like Nana, every day that passes is a step closer to a heartbreaking deadline. Most children born with Down syndrome (or other genetic disorders) in other countries are killed at birth; others are put into orphanages, where they will stay until they are five years old (read more about this at Reece's Rainbow). At five years old, if they have not been adopted, they are transferred to adult mental institutions. Once there, these children do not survive long. In most cases, money is the only thing standing in the way of a family adopting one of these angels. The typical cost for adopting a child like Nana is $20,000. Nana already has $1,000 funded toward the cost of her adoption. My goal is to help Reece's Rainbow collect the full cost of her adoption so that her loving family will not have to pay anything to welcome their beautiful daughter into their home.
