Angel Tree 2014 has started and each Angel Tree face has been added to the main page so we can watch their accounts creep up towards their goals.
I'm so incredibly excited and now seems the perfect time to introduce to our Angel for 2014 -Tara.
Ms. Tara (not her real name to protect her privacy) is a twelve year old young lady from China with Down Syndrome.
12 is such an awesome age, so many things to learn and see yet for Tara and others like her, 12 also means the clock is ticking down.
China's orphans age out at 14 years old which means they are no longer eligible for adoption and the chance for a family closes.

No matter who they are, what the struggles or abilities are, 14 seems too young to age out of the chance for a Mama and Daddy.
According to Tara's profile she is non-verbal but does communicate through sign and shows an extroverted side in her daily life. Strong-willed and independent though not academically strong, it's also been reported that she enjoys physical activities like bikes and running around and what pre-teen can resist a bit of tv?
Angel Tree is an awesome way to invest in this little lady as donations can be as large or small as a person decides (although Paypal is so much easier if a donation is over $5)
Donating to Tara's fund is as easy as clicking on the donate button on the right side of the blog (you can also donate through RR main Angel Tree site but will need to find Tara's individual picture and click on the donate button directly below). How easy is that!

Even for people who can't donate even sharing Reece's rainbow, Angel Tree, and blog posts like this one is helpful as someone who can donate may see or, even more amazing, a prospective family may be led to start asking questions and next year instead of on the Angel Tree a child could be putting the Angel on the top of their families Christmas tree.
So, please share, pray, and, if you can, donate to a great cause.
Next time I'll talk about two great ways to tie Angel Tree into Christmas giving and why so much money is needed to help facilitate these adoptions.
