What are Reece's Rainbow and Angel Tree?

What is Reece's Rainbow?  

The mission statement of Reece's Rainbow is to advocate and find families for orphans with Down syndrome and other special needs by raising funds for adoption grants and promoting awareness through an online community, media communications, and other events.  (Taken from their website.)  

Reece’s Rainbow is not an adoption agency.  They are an advocacy and adoption grant/fundraising organization only.   They raise awareness for waiting children with Down syndrome and other special needs for the purposes of international adoption and social activism. They actively pursue donations as grants to offset the costs related to adopting the children they serve.  (Taken from their FAQ page.)  

Basically, RR is an organization that maintains online photo listings of children available for international adoption.  Advocates and families work to raise money for waiting children and adopting families.  Since 2006, over 1,200 children have found HOMES with their forever families because of Reece's Rainbow.  

What is Angel Tree?
Angel Tree is Reece's Rainbow's annual Christmas project.  Warriors sing up to raise at least $1,000 for each child listed.  They plan any and every type of fund raiser.  More important than the money is the advocacy.  Each child gets shared on social media and at local events in an attempt to find their forever family.  

This year, I signed up to raise money and awareness for Kimberley.  You can read more about my attempts to advocate for her here.

My friend Emily is advocating and fund raising for Alicia.   You can check out Emily's blog here.
