( and in case Maga or Nonnie are reading here... I WANT one of those hats from the HappyHooks shop (obviously after I find out if we're having a boy or girl!!! HINT HINT!))
READ THE POST BELOW and then head on over to Patti's blog to leave a comment and enter her giveaway. What a great cause!! I have to admit Albina has touched my heart like no other child I've seen on RR.
So without further ado.... PATTI RICE:
****************************************************
Please let me introduce you to three little angels who need our help!
First is Albina....
Oh my word, look at those eyes! She melts my heart!
If someone makes a donation to Albina's fund this month, an anonymous donor will match it -- and double your money.
If you can spare $10 for this little love, she'll really receive $20.
And if she gets $5,000...this generous family will match those funds and she will get $10,000 !
This past week, we received an update picture of Albina for the Reece's Rainbow website! Still no smile, still those soulful eyes.
So that's our first little angel - Albina needs us.
Next up we have a beautiful little girl who has stolen the hearts of people all over blogland, named Ollie Faith...Photobucket" src="http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz50/pattirice/ollie-1.jpg" border="0">
Ollie blessed her family's socks off when she arrived in life sporting that sweet extra chromosome 3 months ago, and her mom Annie writes about her on her fabulous blog The House That Jade Built.
Ollie goes in for open heart surgery next month at St. Louis at Children's Hospital.
Ollie needs us.
The last angel who needs our help is the little guy I have been telling you about for months...
ArtemK.
Date of Birth: June 4, 2006
Gender: Male
Eyes: Brown
Hair: dark brown
Temperament: good-natured
SIGNIFICANT RISK, PLEASE ADOPT ME SOON!
Artem turns five next month...if you've been reading here long, you know what that birthday means. Artem has been at the Baby House for most of his life, but he is facing a transfer to the mental institution some time on or after his fifth birthday. The though of that bright, happy face witnessing the horrors of the institution has had me on my knees so many times, crying out to God for a family for Artem.
Artem needs us.
SO here's the deal.
Jessica, the Etsy shop owner has graciously agreed to donate another $50 gift credit to help with our THREE LITTLE ANGELS GIVEAWAY!!
Initial Childrens BlanketFrom OllieFaithDesigns
A fun modern print is backed with double sided minky fleece. Your child's initial is hand cut on a contrasting fabric & stitched to the blanket.
Approximately 33"x42" makes for a large cuddly blanket your little one is bound to love!
Made to order - $50 Please allow 2 weeks for delivery
***I can work with you to create a custom initial blanket in any fabric to go with the personality of your child :) ****
Esty owner Samantha from Happy Hooks Crochet is donating a $20 gift credit to our Three Little Angels Giveaway!!
In addition to that fabulous gift, my sweet friend Jamie Rand is setting up a Scentsy party for Albina!
Unique Scentsy warmers use a low-watt bulb to melt the specially formulated wax slowly, maximizing the fragrance time of the Scentsy Bar or Scentsy Brick. With no flame, soot or wick, the Scentsy system is a safe way to enjoy more than 80 Scentsy fragrances.
All commission on orders made through that party will go to Albina!
And in addition to THAT, one lucky reader will receive a plug-in warmer from Scentsy and three bars to go with it...all you need to do is place an order with Jamie, or blog about her party for Albina or post the link to the party on Facebook. Please leave a comment here telling which one of these you did (and you can leave three comments if you did all three things) to be entered to win the Scentsy plug-in and bars.
So are you ready???
There are four ways to enter this giveaway- you can leave four comments total (plus three additional ones for the Scentsy warmer if you order/blog/FB about the party) if you do all four things...
1)Donate to Albina- she gets a dollar for every dollar you donate, so if you donate $50 she gets $100, etc. The family matching donations will donate up to $5,000, so let's get this baby girl a huge grant and find her a family!!!
2)Pray for Ollie. Her surgery is next month, and as her mama stated they have already seen the power of prayer at work. Pray for her surgeon, and that everything would go well, and that recovery time will be amazingly fast. And pray for Ollie's family as well- I can't even imagine handing your baby girl over to someone else, knowing her life is in their hands. God is already working, so keep praying!
3)Spread the word about Artem needing a family. He has a grant of $4,232 that will go a long way to helping a family rescue him. Either blog about him, email friends about him, make phone calls, post his plight on a forum somewhere...any way you can think to get the word out there that Artem is facing imminent transfer, and he needs a family FAST.
4)RE-POST this giveaway somewhere. Link to it, or feel free to steal it (contact me if you want to do this, as Patti's images and words are copyrighted.) Post it anywhere you can think, if you're not a blogger, find an outlet to spread the word. I know this sounds a lot like number 4, but just because Patti wants this to go viral, she is making this a separate chance to enter:)
If you want to donate to little Albina, you can go directly to Reece's Rainbow. Or donate on Patti's Blog page
NOW YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THE 3 ANGELS... HEAD ON OVER TO PATTI'S BLOG (www.babynumber10.blogspot.com) TO DONATE OR COMMENT AND LET HER KNOW YOU ARE SPREADING THE WORD!! THANK YOU!
I'm so excited to see what God will do for these Three Little Angels!!!!! :):):)
