Its Christmas eve...ONLY ONE MORE DAY UNTIL OUR FUNDRAISER TO HELP ETHAN ENDS!!
Dear All,
It is only 1 more day until our fundraiser ends,(our fundraiser ends on Christmas day) and we still need alot more to get to $1,000.00! Ethan's family (www.themalonefamily.us) are in great need of funds to bring him home from Eastern Europe. They need your help!!! The Malone family just adopted a little girl from Eastern Europe this year to save her from a institution also, and are still recovering from that adoption, so they need extra support!
We are doing a bracelet fundraiser to help bring him home. For a donation of $6.00 or more, we will send you a bracelet. You can pick from the choices on the website, or you can special order what message/colors on the bracelet you want. Consider giving the gift of a donation this Christmas to help this precious little boy come home!

ONLY 7 MORE DAYS UNTIL OUR FUNDRAISER ENDS TO HELP ETHAN!!
Dear All,
please consider giving a donation to help us help bring Ethan home! We only have 7 day left to raise money for Ethan...
It could be a donation of $6 or more for a bracelet or two...or if you do not need a bracelet right now, we are also selling handmade beautiful Christmas yarn angels! (see picture and description below on side bar of this blog). Maybe, if you order soon, you might get the bracelets/angels in time for Christmas/New Years!
Help us help this little boy's family bring him home! He needs to come home quickly before he is transferred to a mental institution. Ethan has a lot of medical issues too, which need to be treated by surgery.
Share with your friends/family!

Lost boys and girls
This is a post by a RR mom...we were really touched by this...it is so sad about all these lost boys and girls at the institutions! Please help them! Ethan, the little boy who we are raising money for will be transferred to the institution if his family can't get to him in time. Please help us raise money for him! Thankyou!
God bless you,

Why do we scream and yell and holler for the children listed on Reece's Rainbow? Why do we raise money for them, lose sleep over them and sacrifice every waking hour advocating for them? Why we do work so hard to get them adopted from the baby houses before they reach the age of transfer? Why do we grieve and mourn when they are transferred to the special needs mental institutes in Eastern Europe?
Read on. This is ONE of the reasons why. There are HUNDREDS more.
We live a harried life. Running here, there and everywhere. We work, take our kids to this activity, then that activity, rush to meetings, juggle schedules and cook, clean and work side-jobs in our spare time. We rarely have time to do Nothing.
We love doing Nothing. A day where we have no appointments, no meetings and no places where our children have to be. An evening where we can stay at home, curl up as a family with a bowl of popcorn and watch a movie. An afternoon where we can take a walk or play in the yard. Nothing. Nothing so that we can do what we find pleasurable. Reading a book, building a puzzle, playing a game. Nothing has warm connotations, happy thoughts. Nothing is what we live for as a family.
For us, in America, Nothing means Everything.
For the Lost Boys and Girls across Eastern Europe, for the ones who have been transferred - Nothing means NOTHING.
This is what NOTHING looks like for many of the Lost Boys and Lost Girls in Eastern Europe. Those who are transferred to the institutes. Those who can walk. Those who are mobile. This is Nothing. This is what one family witnessed just a few months ago on their journey to their son. This is one institute out of many.
On warm days, 20 plus boys will be led to this shed. 20 plus boys will go inside this shed. A bench will be placed across the door so that they will not be allowed to leave. Then, those 20 plus boys will do nothing. They will sit inside that shed. They will sit. They will rock. They will cry out. They will moan. They will stare at the walls. They will hit each other. They will hit themselves. They will sit. They will sit. They will wait. After hours of sitting they will get to leave for another shed, to eat. They will be forced to eat quickly so that they can be led back to this shed. To do Nothing. In the afternoon they will be led to their rooms. They will be made to lay down on their beds. For hours they will lay on those beds. Some will sleep to escape. Others will lay and do Nothing. Staring at the walls, ceiling - staring at Nothing. When it is time to get up, they will go back to their shed. Again, to do Nothing.
On rainy days, or cold days, they will stay in their buildings. They will not leave those buildings. They will not venture downstairs or get to visit the other boys in the other buildings or even in the other part of their building. No. They will stay in their section. They will sit in the sitting room. It is as empty as the shed. Benches and carpets. They will sit. They will sit and they will do Nothing. They will rock. They will moan. They will hit each other. They will hit themselves. They will sit. They will wait. They will stare at the four walls. They will do Nothing.

They will hit themselves. They will sit. They will wait. They will stare at the four walls. They will do Nothing.
.Once in a while, on weekends, they will get to hear music. The bigger boys will get to do jobs. Some jobs that are heart-breaking. The best behaved boys will get to kick a deflated ball sometimes. Sometimes a stick can be found for drawing in the dirt. Sometimes they will even let a child or two play in the sand pile that is often used as a toilet. Sometimes. On really rare days, when visitors come, they may even get out a hidden toy or two. Rarely. Most of the time, they do Nothing.
Nothing for the Lost Boys and Girls in Eastern Europe means Nothing.
Two worlds. Our Nothing. Their Nothing. Can we just sit by and do Nothing?
Help us rescue the little ones who are still at the Baby Houses - donate to the Angel Tree. Give a gift that means EVERYTHING to the "Least of These." Every child rescued out of the Baby House is one less child who has to sit and do Nothing. Please
God bless you,

Help Ethan come home!!!!
Dear All,
As you may know, we are raising funds for Ethan, a little boy in Eastern Europe with special needs. He is in need of surgeries, and he has a family who is working on bringing him home. They just found out their appointment date is the end of January, and they are still $12-$15,000.00 short of what they need.
We are making beautiful, glass beaded bracelets to raise money for them.
Please consider giving a donation for him this Christmas!! :) (for a bracelet or two) If you cannot give a donation right now, please pray for their family to raise the rest of the needed funds to bring him home!
Thank you, and may God bless you all,
Haylee and Naomi Adamson
