If you have read my posts over the last few Tuesdays and Wednesdays (when i am late in publishing my Teamwork Tuesday posts), you would know that i have a CHD (Congenital Heart Defect)… i have a VSD (Ventricular Spital Defect). i always tell people i have a leaky heart, my heart isn’t whole; it has a hole (very poor pun is fully intended).

Colby‘s heart isn’t whole either. He has Patent Ductus Arteriosu, a heart defect in which the fetal blood vessel connecting the aorta and the pulmonary artery does not close during birth. It can lead to all sorts of complications later in life, including CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) and pulmonary hypertension. Colby is fortunate that his condition hasn’t impacted his life in a big way yet.

When it does, i pray and hope that he will have a loving family to support him. Colby is an orphan and he also has Down Syndrome. He needs a mummy and a daddy to love him, just as he is. He needs a brother and sister to hold his hand and show him about the fun things in life.

Colby is an active boy who smiles often and loves to dance. He also enjoys games and cartoons. But he has nothing in his adoption grant; zero in his grant. Would you help change that? Would you put in a little something so that a lack of funds would not be a reason he does not have  a family? Click on his name or picture to go to his profile page to contribute.

Maybe YOU are his Forever Family?  Find out more by contacting Reece’s Rainbow.

You can also pray for him; pray for his condition to hold stable, pray for his daily needs and most of all, pray that his forever family come for him real soon.

Thank you.

Everyone needs love; people need to know that they are loved, that someone out there cares for them and is on their team, that there is someone cheering for them… everyone needs to be shown love and needs to know that they are part of a family who will be there for them through all of life’s ups and downs.

God’s intention was and still is for humans to live together in communities and families to help each other through the long road of life. However, the reality of life is so very different. There are many who don’t even have or even know the very basic component which holds a family together – love; unconditional love, the i-will-love-you-even-if-you-fight-me type of love.

Today i hope you would love a little boy who has never know such love. A little boy who needs it so much it aches my heart to know that he has to face this world and his medical needs all by himself.

Love Eldon today.

Eldon will be 9 this year – same as my little boy. But he will have no mummy or daddy to celebrate his birthday for him, or hold him when he hurts – like i did my little guy just yesterday when he felt hurt.

Eldon does have a number of medical conditions which with the care and attention of a loving family can be managed and he can live a fulfilling life. But where he is now, in an orphanage where he has to share everything, even clothes and carers, it would be very difficult.

Would you love Eldon today? Is he your son? Maybe? Yes? Contact Reece’s Rainbow to find out more.

Would you love Eldon today? Would you pray for him; for his daily needs, his medical needs and most of all, for his forever family to come for him as soon as possible?

Would you love Eldon today? Would you help grow his adoption grant? A bigger grant would help his forever family reach him faster. Please click on his name or picture to donate.

Thank you.

This month, the Teamwork Tuesday bloggers are focusing on Congenital Heart Disease/Defect (CHD). And i told them, “This is my month.”, because i have VSD (Ventricle Septal Defect); i was born with it.

In my last TT (Teamwork Tuesday) post, i wrote about how blessed i am to have wonderful parents who took such great care of me.

Today i want you to know that having a CHD isn’t a limiting thing. If anything, i was never limited by my condition; i was an extremely active child, still am a fairly active adult. i’m constantly going somewhere, doing something. The only limit my condition as placed on me is that i can never scuba dive; which i would have loved to as i grew up on stories of my father’s diving adventures. Competitive sports are also out but i’m not so big into sports.

Daisy isn’t limited by her Congenital Heart Disease either, nor is she limited by her Cerebral Palsy. She arrived at the institution when she was about 2 years, not walking, not speaking and very thin. But with proper care, she gained weight, learnt to speak and within a year she was taking her first steps.

Now Daisy needs a loving family to take her the rest of the journey to a fulfilling and opportunity-filled life. Are you that family? If you feel your heart beating a little faster for this dear one, then do contact Reece’s Rainbow to find out more.

Even if you are not meant to be her forever family, you can help her. You can pray for her, pray for her health and her daily needs. You can share her story far and wide so that her forever family might find her.

You can also donate to her adoption grant (which by the way is so very very low at the moment). A bigger adoption grant get her more notice and help her forever family reach her faster. Please click on her picture or name to go to her profile to donate.

Thank you.
