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.
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.

A Drop in the Bucket: Two Boys, a Bucket of Coins and a Waiting Child
As promised, I am reporting back on how people are finding ways to fill Martin's Adoption Fund by adding their own drops to that big bucket.
This video shows how two boys gave the money they were saving for "something big" to Reece's Rainbow for Martin. While you are watching it, think about whether there are any drops you could add to Martin's bucket. Enjoy!
PS The boys only had $72 and change. Their Dad made up the rest.
PPS Why do you only see the typos after the video is created, downloaded and embedded?
