This is Martin. It is not his real name, but he is a real boy, and this is his real picture. Martin was born with Down Syndrome and lived in an orphanage in Eastern Europe for five years, until his family brought him home rather than see him live in an adult mental institution. Martin is the inspiration for many people working to bring hope and families to children with disabilities living in orphanages and institutions around the world.

Half-way through the Angel Tree Project
Well, we are officially more than halfway through the RR Angel Tree Project which ends on December 31.
You remember, where Martin's Christmas Warriors commit to raise $1,000 for the his adoption grant?
The one where, for a $35 donation you get a cool Christmas ornament with Martin's picture on it?
The good news is that we have reached that $1,000 goal. The bad news is that it is not nearly enough to bring Martin home.
Let's try to double that between now and the end of the year!
Just click here. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, under the "My Family Found Me" section.
Look for Martin's adorable face. ;-)
Click on the "add" button just beneath it.
Then "check out" using the "Angel Tree Shopping Cart" near the top of the page.
Or you could send your donation, clearly marked as being for Martin, to:
Reece’s Rainbow
PO Box 4024
Gaithersburg, MD 20885
Nothing could be easier, or more important.
To get an ornament, your donation needs to be received by December 14. (I think) So what are you waiting for?
