Ever spend a precious hour of your time to write a blogpost and then come back and find that it has disappeared?
Gone.
Words written carefully for a little boy in a faraway country.
Words crafted in order to touch hearts.
Words written amidst constant interruptions.
Gone.
I can't rewrite them. Time is too precious and that hour was too hard to find.
These new words have to fit in a 15 minute space.
They must pour out before the needs of my family wash over me.
He's a little boy in a faraway country who has been my Angel Tree boy for three years now.
The first year he was just a tiny babe in a bed.
Tied in a bed. Look closely.
I raised 1,000 in his grant account and hoped and prayed that someone out there would look past his scary diagnoses and love him best of all.
He spent a year growing up without a family.
Last year we were blessed with pictures that brought him to life and I was sure - convinced - that he would not be overlooked.
We raised another 1,000 plus a bunch more but again.... no one chose my boy!
So here we are again.
I am trying again to find him a family and raise his grant account.
I am not doing the greatest of jobs for him. His 2018 goal is $1,000 and so far he has $112.50. And he is still an orphan in a faraway country.
I don't have carefully crafted words to give you. My 15 minutes is about up.
I just have a plea.
Won't you please SEE Ronald.
Help me raise his grant account. Pray with me that his family sees him.
He reminds me so much of John.
I would give anything to have been able to adopt John when he was 4! Orphanages are not homes. Caretakers are not family.
Please consider donating HERE. Any amount. $5.00 $50.00 or $500.00
If you do then please leave a comment or contact me through Facebook or e-mail (covenantb@yahoo.com) because I have a couple of things we want to giveaway....
A BEAUTIFUL scarf from Ronald's country.... pictures to come later....
And a $100.00 Amazon Gift Card...
THANK YOU FOR CARING!!
I just saw on Hand of help in adoption that he now has a family? This makes me so so happy ❤️
ReplyDeleteHi Julie - I don't have much extra to donate this year but I did donate $25 to this sweet boy's adoption. I so appreciate your heart for the little ones and will be praying that he finds a forever home!

ReplyDeleteHi Julia, I donated $500. I hope the prior comment is right that he has a family. He is precious.

Yes he does have a family committed to him. But they will need our help to get him home. They have adopted other kids. The whole family has their hearts set on him.
