Orphan of the Month for May… Angel Crafts Shop…

My Orphan of the Month for May is a sweet boy with a serious medical condition.

Tanner Jay is almost 10 and needs a loving family to help him get the medical care he so desperately needs.

Tanner Jay has a Congenital Heart Defect but his file does not tell us which heart defect exactly. However, it is serious enough that his lips are constantly blue. That is not a good sign; blue lips usually mean that his blood circulation is slow or his blood pressure is low. (i know because i have a CHD too) His fingers are also stumped and he is very small size for his age. All this points to the fact that he needs medical attention and he needs it as soon as possible.

Because of his orphan status, he is unlikely to get that much-needed medical care while he remains an orphan. And his medical condition means he is unlikely to be adopted within his own country due to the social stigma of being a “sickly boy”.

Tanner Jay is intelligent and learns very quickly; he can play a musical instrument after just two lessons. He can speak some English and has good self-care skills. He also gets along well with other children and wishes for an older brother.

He needs a family who can get him that medical attention as soon as possible. And it is most likely to be a family outside of his home country; which means lots of expensive paperwork and travel involved.

His adoption grant is currently at zero! With your help, i would like to get that to at least US$50.00 by the end of May.

All purchases made at Angel Crafts Shop in the month of May will see 50% going to Tanner Jay‘s adoption grant. So come shop and help grow his adoption grant!

Please click on his name or picture to find out more about him. Please do pray for him and his daily needs and his health, most of all, pray for a caring family to come for him asap.

Thank you very much.

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!
