Help Orphans, Win an iPad

You can help some special needs orphans and be entered to win a brand new Apple iPad for only $5! Your $5 together with your friend's $5, together with my neighbor's $15, together with the $5 from that lady that stumbled upon this blog "by accident", together with the $10 from my favorite blogger, together with the $5 from my facebook friend, etc. will add up! Your $5 donation can make the difference between a child dying in a mental institution and that same child being adopted by a loving family and truly flourishing!

The need is great, but my God is greater! God has a heart for the orphans. He has not forgotten them. These precious children that He created in His image. He loves them more than anyone does. He calls us to help them. We can not ignore the call. He has made it clear that we must look after orphans. We can not knowingly turn our back on them. He has revealed to us the need, He has shown us a way to help them, all we need to do is answer the call. There are lots of ways to help orphans. One way is to donate here by clicking one of the "Chip In's" at the top of this blog. The funds go directly to Reece's Rainbow and are tax deductible. Here's what you need to know about this raffle:

  1. Raffle entries are $5 per entry. ($5 = 1 entry; $20 = 5 entries; $50 = 16 entries; $100 = 35 entries; $150 = 55 entries)
  2. Click the "chip in" button on 1 of the 3 "Chip In Widgets" at the top of this blog
  3. Make a donation in whatever amount you feel led
  4. Tell me: (1) who you are  (2) which fund you donated to  (3) how many entries you get in the raffle
  5. Check this blog again on December 1st to see who the winner of the iPad is

You can complete # 4  of the instructions by leaving a comment on this blog, emailing me at mrsholly@hotmail.com or both.

Now take some time to "meet" some of the precious children that qualify for the older child grants you will be donating to.

  12. Hello! I just donated to "other angels" for one chance. It's not much, as I'm also trying to raise money to bring home my baby from Ethiopia, but I understand how every little bit helps. So hopefully my "little bit" will help!

  28. Holly,

    Thank you so much for your heart for all of these precious children. I spent much time looking at many of them yesterday (came via Linny), oh my heart.

    I've loved seeing the numbers go up--praying that the Lord will multiply what is given! I donated $20 to older girls, and $20 to other angels--I guess that would be 10 entries. The joy is in the giving--thank you for the opportunity!

    Blessings to you~
