Orphan of the Month for April… Angel Crafts Shop…

It is time to introduce you to my Orphan of the Month for April!

Meet Daphne!

She is 11.5 years old and reported to be outgoing and having a quick smile. See that lovely smile in the photo? She is helpful and gets along well with others. She attends school inside her orphanage and enjoys toys and watching cartoons. Her diagnosis is post-operative anal atresia. If she had a loving family and access to better medical care, her condition could be improved and that would give her a better quality of life.

With this condition, it is doubtful that families in her home country would consider her. She needs a family who is willing to see her and not her condition, to see what a wonderful girl she is, to see beyond the diagnosis. As such, i believe her forever family is outside of her home country. Which means a very expensive international adoption process.

Right now, Daphne‘s adoption grant stands at zero! i would love for that grant to have at least US$50.00 by the end of April. And i need your help to do that.

Please shop at Angel Crafts Shop in April and 50% of all sales made during this month will go to Daphne‘s adoption grant, which make a difference in helping her forever family to reach her.

Do pray for Daphne and her daily needs and most of all for a caring family to step up for her. Please also share her story and need. Click on her name or picture to find out more.

See you over at Angel Crafts Shop!

Thank you very much.

You Helped to Grow His Grant… Angel Crafts Shop…

It’s time again for our quarterly summary of who your purchases have helped and how much the adoption grants of these precious children have grown. The last 3 months, January, February and March, have been a bit topsy-turvy for me. There was packing and more packing in January, then we moved to our new home at the end of January and there was unpacking to be done and then school holidays and trying to sort horrible phone / internet line issues. But i have to say you have just been wonderful through all of it; me missing on posts and not being online etc. Thank you.

So in the first week of January, i had picked Taya as my Orphan of the Month. And we did make some sales – Thank you! But i missed out on putting the money into her grant because of the move and school holidays. And when we got back from holidays, she was already on MFFM (My Family Found Me on Reece’s Rainbow website). But her family did not set up an account with Reece’s Rainbow, so i was unable to give to her grant.

He’s still waiting for a family. Please share his need and pray for him!

It was already almost the end of February, so i decided to pick another child who would be Orphan of the Month for both February and March and gave Taya‘s amount (US$52) to Peterson. In March, Angel Crafts Shop was at a Koffermarkt (Suitcase Market) and sales at that fair came to US$118 after expenses. So in total your shopping gave Peterson‘s adoption grant a boost of US$111 (US$99.90 after contributions to Voice of Hope fund).

*UPDATE 02 April 2015: i had forgotten to add one more order which shipped today but was paid for in March. So Peterson’s adoption grant gets another US$32.50! That takes his total to US$129.15 (after contributions to VOH).

Thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement. Please do continue to support these precious children and praying for them and sharing their stories and need for a loving family.

Next up – Orphan of the Month for April! Do keep making purchases at Angel Crafts Shop!

World Down Syndrome Day!…

On the World Down Syndrome Day website, it says it’s an hour twenty minutes till the start of WDSD 2015!

Just a few years ago, this day did not hold much significance to me. i knew it existed and what it was for but it wasn’t personal. Now it is. Because God opened my eyes to the world of special needs orphans, through the ministry of Reece’s Rainbow, which started because of a mother’s love for her boy with Down Syndrome and her love for orphans with the same condition but without the support of a loving family like her son.

Now at the beginning of March, Reece’s Rainbow started its special fundraiser, 21 Days of Hope, which raises money to help them have funds to continue to help these precious children who need to be given a voice. We were funding raising for Reece’s Rainbow Voice of Hope Fund as well as for the adoption grants of 21 specific children.

And we did it! You did it! You helped! You gave! And the target was met and each of those 21 children got an additional US$2100 into their adoption grants. This will so help their forever families when they come for them. THANK YOU!

Now please check out how you can continue to help build awareness for World Down Syndrome Day here!

Please continue to support Reece’s Rainbow‘s work as well as the orphans they try to help.

Please continue to pray for these orphans and share their stories and need for a family with everyone you know.

Thank you!
