Orphan Of The Day #4

Hey Hey guys!  It's Alyssa here, Kaitlyn wasn't able to do the "Orphan Of The Day" post so I told her I would do it!  The two cuties that I have to show you guys today are two kids that have the best smiles!

 I would like you to meet Anna, she has the best smile!  I'm VERY shocked that she STILL doesn't have a family! :)  Could Anna be your daughter?

Girl, born June 2002
Eyes: Green
Hair: blond
Character: sociable, emotional

Anna is a sweet 10 year old girl who is waiting for a forever family.  We are hoping for more pics and medical info, but she seems as though she was either burned in a fire or some other accident.

Now for out little boy of the day I have Theodore :) Look at his contagious smile! 

Boy, born May 2000
Diagnosis: congenital anomaly of brain development in form of microcephaly with severe lag in development of psychological, speech and motor development, myopathic syndrome

Additional medical information and social history available for potential families. Families must be home study approved to commit to Tyson.

So here are your Orphans Of The Day!  Lets hope I did this right!  Kaitlyn will be back soon to do this for you guys! :)  It was a pleasure to jump in and help out! 

It's been a really long time since I've wrote on here, or on any blog for that matter. I've been super busy this year. My family and I are currently in the process of moving to a new house which has been stressful. I feel really bad about not advocating  like I used to. I of course haven't lost my love for orphans, I just haven't really known what to write about. I feel like when I write, that I'm not helping; that my advocating doesn't do anything. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only advocator out there that feels like that. I do know that this is what God wants me to do. I just need to put my faith and trust in Him. Even if it looks like I'm not helping, I am. Maybe I won't ever see the difference that I make. Or maybe I just need to be patient and wait. (Patience is definitely not one of my strong suits. ;) ) Either way it's definitely not any reason to give up and stop. I really love advocating and just love the happy feeling when I see that a child's family had finally found them. I definitely do not want to stop helping!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

-Proverbs 3:4-6



Before I end this post I just want to quickly tell you guys, if you didn't already know, that Rachel's family is going to be adopting a little girl. (A super cute little girl. ;) ) If you'd like to help them out you can click HERE. Or if you'd like to read about their journey you can read my aunts blog HERE.

Presley Vs Leukemia

God has blessed me with a mothers heart, at a young age.  I believe that it helps me advocate for these kids, cause I love them as if they were my own.  But in some cases, it breaks my heart.  There is a sweet boy, beautiful beyond words, cutest smile, just waiting to be loved by a mommy and daddy.  This little boys name is Presley.  Presley turned 4 years old in March.  You're reading this thinking wheres the catch?  Why is your heart breaking?  Whats wrong?

Presley has Leukemia.  Leukemia is a type of cancer,  Presley isn't getting treatment for this, and he wont until he has a family that can bring him to the U.S.   I have seen quite a few kids recently whom are fighting the battle, of Leukemia.  It takes a huge toll on the kids, and that is with proper care treatment, and most of all a family.  These kids have a Mommy, a daddy, and siblings, to love on them. Not to mention the aunts and uncles that come to visit and love on them as well.  Presley doesn't have any of that.

He isn't even getting treatment for this because I'm supposing the orphanage wont pay for it.  In my eyes the reason doesn't really matter, this little boy is sick, he isn't getting any better, he needs out.  So today I ask that you pray for Presley, you pray for his family, and you pray that his pain is eased until his mommy and daddy come for him.  Presley should not have to suffer like this.  Share Presley today, make him known to the world!

Orphan of the Day #3

 Today's theme for orphan of the day is older children!  This will deeply sadden your heart for these kids.  Well...technically they aren't "kids"..they are TEENAGERS living in ADULT INSTITUTION

These orphans don't have much time left AT ALL.  Normally at age 16 they are given a couple tens of dollars and put onto the streets to survive and live on their own. With absolutely NO EXPERIENCE of life outside the institution walls.

 IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU "SHARE" THIS LINK ON ANY OF YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES TO HELP THESE KIDS FIND THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES, FAST!!!!  Before it's too late! :(

Today I'm going to start off with our teenage cutie orphan!  Meet...

Joy 

One beautiful beautiful girl who turns 15 this OCTOBER, the national month of Down syndrome awareness!   She is exactly my (Kaitlyn) little sister, Kristen's age!  She'll turn 15 this month too.  Only there is a huge difference in these two teenagers lives.  And no, Down syndrome isn't one of the big ones!  Kristen, my sister, has spent 15 short happy years living in our family, feeling love, getting a good education, learning new things, doing what she loves like baking, drawing, painting, etc.  Joy, on the other hand has spent 15 long years in an orphanage/ adult institution, never knowing what love feels like, never feeling beautiful, never getting a chance to show her true colors.  It's more than heartbreaking to me.   She gets treated differently.  Why?  Because of one simple thing.  God made Joy a little differently than any other child, like my sister Kristen.  She doesn't deserve to live forever as an orphan.  God made her for so many different and perfect reasons!  All Joy needs is for someone to see her true self!  Joy is gorgeous, and so positive!  She can smile, despite the horrible conditions she's been living in.  She's spent most of her life in a crib! A STINKING CRIB!  My sister was out of crib by one and a half to around two years old!  

I think you and I both can agree it isn't right.  She needs and deserves more.  By copying and pasting the link to this post to your social sites you could change a life.  Joy will be sixteen in just one short year.  There's still time to give her a real hope, a real joy.  Pray for little cutie Joy.  Think of her and just pray for her.  God hears us and will do something about this.  He loves his little Joy. <3

Now onto our orphan boy of the day! Meet....

Bartholemew

Wow is this guy handsome!  His blue eyes and blond hair is very attractive.  God gave him some beautiful features!  The poor soul looks so miserable in his photo though.  And who could blame him?  He turned 15 in August of 2012!  That means his time is quickly running out!  He'll be 16 and on the streets if he doesn't find a family before his sixteenth birthday!!  His region isn't as hard to adopt from!  He would make a great son for someone.  Barth needs you.  You need to be his voice.  You have a chance to change a life.  Right now!  What are you waiting for?  Do something!  Share this post!  Donate to his grant!  Get down on your knees and PRAY for him!   You could save this young mans life1  YES I SAID YOU!!!

I can't thank you enough for taking your time to read this post. Oh it brings tears to my eyes!  If you could help them you'd be a real life saver! God can use you through this!  He used me! I'm living proof anyone can help!  I'm a sixteen year old trying to save others that are CLOSE TO MY AGE!  Don't let this moment pass you buy.  Don't ignore this!  Change it!  Because you know you can,
