Reece's Rainbow - Miracle Makers, part 2

So a couple of weeks ago I shared the story of Lynda, the precious little girl I had signed up to advocate for during this holiday season. I still smile when I remember that she will be home with her forever family soon! (The Petersen family will be bringing her home!)

So now Lynda has a family. My second choice child was Clementine, another little girl from Eastern Europe. There is very little information on Clementine's page. She is about 6 years old. She has some delays. She has 2 blood diseases. But that's all that is listed. A few tiny sentences to sum up this little girl - that is so sad.

Adorable little Clementine -
look at that precious face!
This little girl drew me in with her sweet little smile, her precious pigtails, her dirty knees. She looks like any other child...but she is growing up in an orphanage. She lives every day with no family. No mama to kiss her precious cheeks, to brush her dark hair, to wipe her dirty knees. No daddy to read her stories, to snuggle her close, to tell her that she is a child of God. It breaks my heart to think about her having no one to call her own.

I reread the paragraph above & it brings tears to my eyes. I would love nothing more than to fly to Europe & bust her out of that orphanage forever & bring her home. Unfortunately we are not at a place where we can adopt internationally right now, so I am doing what I can. I am sharing sweet little Clementine with you right now. Can you share her, too? Share the link above & get her picture out there. Share my blog with her information. Give out my info to anyone who might be interested in learning more about how to start the process of adopting her (or any other Reece's Rainbow child) & I will get them connected with someone who can help them start that process.

Okay, so back to the actual point of this blog: I am raising money for Clementine between November 1st and December 31. My goal is to raise $1000 for her grant. Currently her grant is at $329.40. I will be posting a facebook album in the next couple of days with things for sale. All money from those sales will be going into Clementine's Miracle grant. I am also taking crochet orders - 70% or more of the price of ordered items will go to Clementine. I'd love to have your support as I work to support this sweet little girl! Please consider making a purchase or giving a donation to Clementine's grant starting on November 1st!
