They are always hungry.
Most of the babes in the institute get just enough but never really enough.
Their little tummies are always longing for more food.
They don't get a choice what they are going to eat and frankly - they don't care. They just want food.
Even if it is soup and bread every single day of their lives.
They shovel the food in as fast as they can for fear that it will be taken away before they can finish.
We can't cross the ocean and set up a stew pot to fill their stomachs for real.
Even if we could, they would just be hungry again the next day.
What we can do is much greater.
We can throw our dimes and nickels into their buckets and fill up their grant accounts to make it easy for a family to cross that ocean and adopt them so they will never be hungry again.
Frank.
He is starving for so much more than food in his belly.
He is starving for attention. He is starving for someone to care. He is starving for someone to chase after him when he runs.
He's looking for a Mother who will comfort him when he scrapes his knee.
Oh Frank.
You matter so much.
You matter so very very much.
Please help me raise Frank's grant account. Right now we have raised only $76.00 for Frank.
Please help me get his face out.
The ONLY diagnosis Frank has is moderate mental delay. He MAY have FAS but that is just MY cautionary. He DESPERATELY needs a family. He is wasting away at a Level Four Mental Institute where he most definitely DOES NOT belong!

THIRD... You have to leave a comment WITH YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME letting me know which of the families you donated to and which of the waiting children.
