Liz said...: Hey Alison,
I will let Matt know. I think he will get to Kiev in the early afternoon on Sunday. Maybe you could get together Sunday night for dinner or Monday. He has a phone from our facilitator that I'll get the number for you and/or you could give me your phone number and he could call you. He plans on staying at a hotel in Kiev instead of an apartment.

I can't wait to see pictures of you with Tate!!!! :); Thursday, October 23, 2008

Reece's Rainbow

There are children all over the world in need of a family, love, and basic care. Many of these children have disabilities and are placed in mental institutions at the age of 4 or 5. In these places the children rarely live past the age of 10 and most die within the first year. Will you help to spread the word to raise funds and families for orphans with disabilities? Please visit Reece's Rainbow and see how your donation- however large or small- can help a child find a family. Look a little harder and you just might find the calling for one of them to be your own.

If finances aren't a way you can help, please look across their photos and say a prayer that each one will find their forever family soon. Reece's Rainbow is an International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry which also advocates for orphans with other disabilities across the globe. Please "grab this button" and post it with a message to your own readers as well. It starts with ONE, but then grows exponentially. You never know, your own post may be one that finds a family for one of these precious children.
