Wow, lots more drops in Martin's bucket!

I had to go back and check three times during lunch today, because I could not believe my eyes, but it is true!

There is now $836 in Martin's Christmas Angel Tree Fund! Go here and see for yourself. You know you can't resist another look at the cute face; well, all those cute faces.

Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed so far! I am so grateful for you and the help you are giving to this precious boy. Please drop me a comment or message, I would love to thank you in person.

We need to keep spreading the word about Martin and his need for a family, and we need to keep putting our drops into that bucket, so that when Martin's family finds him, they are not discouraged by the cost of his adoption. We need to keep praying.

Will you be a Christmas Warrior for Martin?

Look at the side bar, this blog now has an official Christmas Warrior button for Martin!

Martin needs a lot of people to spread the word so that his forever family can find him.

He needs people to raise money, so that there is an adoption grant available to help his family bring him home, once they do find him.

He needs people to pray for him and for his family.

Will you help?

Will you spread the word about Martin? Will you help raise or contribute money to his adoption fund? Will you pray?

Will you be a Christmas Warrior for Martin?

Meet Martin

Let me introduce you to Martin. It is not his real name, of course. But he is a real boy, and this is his real picture, his real face, as I first saw it just over a year ago.

Martin lives in an orphanage in Eastern Europe. He was born with Down Syndrome and a heart defect, that has since been surgically repaired.

I started this blog to advocate for Martin, to try to find a family who can parent him, can raise him, can be his everyday getting dressed, eating breakfast, wiping tears, reading stories and giving goodnight kisses family. Because it is very expensive to bring home a child from Martin’s country, this blog will also be used to raise money to offset the cost of Martin’s adoption.

Financial donations can be made to Reece’s Rainbow, a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization that advocates for the adoption of children with special needs, and Down Syndrome in particular, and works to help families of children with disabilities parent their children. Reece’s Rainbow will use donations to fund a grant for Martin’s adoption. You can learn more about Reece’s Rainbow by clicking on this link or the Reece’s Rainbow button on the side of this blog.
