World Down Syndrome Day : Kelvin!

Welcome to day one of our special little World Down Syndrome Day event!   I want to jump right into this and introduce you to one of the four waiting children with Down syndrome that we will be posting on this event!    (If you missed the announcement post for this event or need more information CLICK HERE to read the post, this page will stay open for your convince) 

 

                                       Meet Kelvin! 

Isn't he precious?  This is going to sound extremely bad and pretty sad, but I had never seen this boy until I went and searched for a child that was "overlooked".  

I'm part of several RR groups and friends with many advocates, but never have I seen Kelvin mentioned or shared before.  I know I could have missed it, because he does have $1,000 in his adoption grant.  

This is why I chose Kelvin to take part in possibly becoming "the face" of Chosen to Bless for a month. 

I consider him to be an overlooked child that needs the spotlight for a change!  

Kelvin is 7 years old and has never felt love before in his whole life.  He has Down syndrome and seems to be a healthy boy as far as his description on RR says! 

And normally I would copy and paste the child's description from RR below, but Kelvin only has a small caption of his photo. 

I think it's safe to say that this boy deserves attention that will help lead his forever family his way!  

If you would like to "vote" for Kelvin to become the face of Chosen to Bless for a whole month go "like" our Facebook page (click here to view). and join us on March 21!  On that day we will post all four children in the running to win, to vote for the child of your choice you will have to hit share! 

The child with the most shares WINS! 

Thank you for reading and have a blessed day!  

blessings,

             Kaitlyn

 

World Down Syndrome Day!!!

March 21 World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. Each year the voice of people with Down Syndrome, and those who love them, grows louder. But there is still so much more we can do. 

We would like to announce that this year from March 17 to March 21, we will be celebrating and spreading Down syndrome awareness all while benefiting four orphans with Down syndrome listed on Reece's Rainbow.

Since Alyssa is away in Mexico (on a missions trip) until March 20, Madeleine and Kaitlyn will be hosting this WDSD event on Chosen to Bless Facebook page.

Starting March 17 Kaitlyn or Madeleine will take turns posting a special orphan they've handpicked to be the "Chosen Child" for WDSD event.   A new child will be posted on our blog everyday leading up to March 21.

On March 21 each child will be posted onto our Facebook page.  And this is where you come in!
All of our followers and readers and even newbies will be welcomed to go onto our Facebook and hit SHARE on the child you want to be the face of Chosen to Bless for a whole month!

You may be wondering what exactly that is, right?  We've got you covered!
The face of Chosen to Bless means that we will be putting the spotlight on one child that we consider as an"overlooked" child, for a whole month!   We will make him or her several virtual flyers, posts on our blog, a button on the side of our blog, the profile picture on our Facebook page and more!

It is very important that you participate in this event and share the child that has tugged your heart or just gives you "that" feeling!   Because at the end of March 21 the child will the most shares on their photo/link will be the WINNER!

This is a big opportunity for one of these little angels and we hope that you will join us and vote (share) the child you want to be the "face" of Chosen to Bless!

Our goal is to raise Down syndrome awareness and benefit a precious little child.

Chosen Child | Jais

Hello!  It's Kaitlyn here with today's Chosen Child of the Day!   I hope you are prepared to be overwhelmed with cuteness, because Jais here has cuteness oozing out of him!

Do you see what I mean?  Just look at those cheeks!! SO kissable!  Okay...I need to get a hold of myself so this can actually be a decent post.  Believe me, I could sit here and type thousands of words that describe this precious little boy, but we'd be here forever and you wouldn't learn much valuable information.  And come on, every thing I would say is just going to state the obvious, this kid is cute! ;)

Jais is overall a pretty healthy child, according to his profile on Reece's Rainbow his only diagnosis is Down syndrome.

Jais needs a mommy and daddy to help him grow up.  He would make a fantastic son for anyone, if you ask me.

Here's what a family who met him say's about him:

  

From a family who met him in November 2013:
He is very cute and seems well liked by his nannies. I’m not sure if he’s walking or not, when his group goes out to walk he is always in a stroller. He sat very nicely when the older class did an autumn program last week

Jais deserves a family!  And soon!  He will 4 years old in November.   He's waited FOUR long years of his life in an orphanage.  Never celebrating a birthday before.   :(   I don't think he even has anyone advocating for him.
