Christmas is over. The decorations have been put away. Daddy's back at work. The day to day mundane yet chaotic reality that is our life has returned. In our world this means, therapy pre-school (homeschool style), and learning our way around another new town (third town in 2 years, hoo boy).
That also means that MACC is over for another year.
This year was so exciting.
Each child in the campaign met their $1000 grant goal and 9 children found families in those 2 months (with another stepping forward since the new year).
In some ways, after such a big push, it can feel tempting to put aside the advocating as the new year and all it brings comes rushing in. Although this year was successful I couldn't help but reflect back on the kiddo's who had been part of prior campaigns and were still waiting or who had aged out.
Can I be honest? It hit me hard to get confirmation that my Christmas kiddo had, in fact, been moved to an institution.
Sometimes you wonder if one voice can make a difference . . .
Which is why anything worth doing is always better with a few like minded friends! One dear lady suggested picking 16 kiddo's to focus on throughout the year. 16 faces to bring forward in blogs and social media in order to help keep these kiddo's from being forgotten.
And here are my 16
16 precious children who deserve to know that they are loved daughters. 16 little girls who need families, medical care, and love. 16 little ones who don't deserve to be forgotten
Merida, Brandi, Waniya, Priscilla, Lucie, Hana, Shirley, Emma, Harlowe, Charissa, Nadene, Claire, Elinor, Christina, Cadence, Dolly
Well, since it is 2017, it only makes sense to add one more Ginny!
