Angel Tree, Angel Tree, ANGEL TREE!!

For those of you that read my posts you probably remember this post about Angel Tree!  At that time I was a warrior for a little cutie named Lark, well Lark found her family, and I had to pick a new little one!  I also made this post about my new child, and I never actually told you all who I was a new warrior for!  Now it's officially Angel Tree time, and I have the goal of raising $1000 before December 31st for my Angel Boy! So I have decided to write this post and introduce my new Angel Tree child!

George (For some reason I just find that to be the most adorable name.) is 9 years old, and lives in an orphanage in Eastern Europe.  He was born with Down syndrome, he can walk with support, and loves to play with toys!  He is described as friendly and has a positive attitude, he has opportunities to play games and other activities but he does not always participate. He is the sweetest little Angel Boy and is not aggressive towards himself or others.  This Christmas season I am determined to find him a family, and raise $1,000 for him!

I am so blessed and thankful that I get to be George's Angel Tree Warrior this Christmas!  I chose George for two reasons, one I come from a family full of boys.  I have 7 younger brothers and 2 older brothers, so I know how little boys act, and how they love to build Legos, play out side, and play the video game.  I am able to connect with little boys like George so much easier because I have so many brothers.  It breaks my heart to think about one of my little brothers being in George's situation, that terrifying thought gives me the drive to save George!

Reason number two for why I chose George, I will be going on a trip to his country in just a few weeks.  I will get to see the inside of an orphanage, and see just how horribly these kids are forced to live.  I will be able to see just a little more of what George's life is like, and that too will help me grow a strong bond to this sweet child who has no one.

So this Christmas season I hope you will consider donating to George's Angel Tree fund, and share his picture in hopes that a family will rescue him.  Lets make this Georges last Christmas alone!  Who's with me?


If you donate $35 or more to George's Angel Tree fund you will be sent an ornament with George's photo on it, to hang on your Christmas Tree! :)  Here is a link to George's profile: http://reecesrainbow.org/53858/george192
