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.

It happened again! The child i have as Orphan of the Month in January was Taya and there is a wonderful line of blue text under her profile which makes advocates like me smile from ear to ear! (same thing happened for Addie – remember?)

That line says, “My Family Found Me”! Go here to see those lovely words for yourself!

i was just going to put in the US$52, which you helped raised through your purchases in January, into Taya‘s account when i saw that beautiful blue line of text!

There was also another line of blue text which is great… the one which says that US$675 was donated to her adoption grant. Remember in January when i shared about Taya she had nothing in her grant! God is good!

Do pray for a smooth-hassle-free journey for her family to bring her home. i don’t know yet and may never know who her family is. But knowing there are people out there loving her and working hard to bring her into a loving family is simply… well, it made my day!

So what’s going to happen to the funds ear-marked for Taya? Well, i’m going to put it straight into February’s child’s grant, right now!

Without further ado, let me introduce you to Orphan of the Month for February – PETERSON!

This boy is so talented, it just knocks my socks off that he is not performing with orchestras all over the world! Well, he’s not, mainly because he is an orphan. He needs a loving, supportive family to help him go the distance and make that impact he is supposed to make in the world.

Peterson may not see the world as you and i do (he is blind) but that certainly does not limit him in any way. He is very independent; walks to school by himself, does well in his studies, loves to converse in English (not sure how fluent he is), has great self-care skills and is able to help with chores around the house. He is curious and loves hugs! He has run a mini marathon twice and still runs regularly. And he wants to be a singer!

His grant is currently at US$46.80 (which is the US$52 i spoke about earlier, $5.20 goes to the Voice of Hope Fund which helps with admin costs at Reece’s Rainbow where his profile is). i want to grow that to a 3-digit number! Can you help?

It is simple to help – just go to Angel Crafts Shop, browse, find an item or two or three which you like and make your purchase. 50% of all purchases will go to Peterson’s grant!

Click on Peterson‘s name or picture to find out more about him. Do also pray for Peterson and a forever family to come bring him home. And share his story so more can help!

Thank you.

PS: Because of my lack of Internet connection in the first half of February, and there is only a week left to February, i have decided that Peterson will stay on as Orphan of the Month for March as well. So we have a little more time to make a difference for Peterson. So please come to Angel Crafts Shop and shop!

i had my Orphan of the Month all chosen – it was going to be Addie who was the featured orphan in October but there was no sales that month so i could not grow her grant and wanted to do so now. However, … “drum roll” … Addie’s family found her!!!

i don’t know who her family is yet but just knowing she has a family doing all they can to bring her home is wonderful wonderful news!

So i had to choose another child to be Orphan of the Month for January. i had a look at Reece’s Rainbow’s recently listed children and found sweet Taya!

Meet Taya – Orphan of the Month for January on Angel Crafts Shop!

Looking at that face just brings a smile to my face. She has such a delightful smile and is said to be a fantastic dancer! And while her diagnosis might say Down Syndrome, Taya does not let it define her or stop her – she is very intelligent and sensible, and loves to make others smile.

Because she is newly listed, her adoption grant is empty at the moment. Please help me to get the ball rolling, make a purchase at Angel Crafts Shop and help build up Taya‘s adoption grant. 50% of all sales goes to Taya‘s grant.

Click on her name or picture to find out more about Taya. Do also help share her need for a forever family so more can help. And pray for her well-being and for a family to step up for her.

Thanks a lot.
