Down syndrome adoption update
On Sunday, I told you about Reece’s Rainbow and their opportunity through Amercian Express to receive a large grant to save the children in countries outside of North America who have Down syndrome and other disabilities and are orphans with no hope of survival if they stay in their countries.
I, of course, am not the only one talking about this! This message is being spread throughout the blogging world, websites, emails, texting, IM’s, and phone calls. But I would like to think some of my readers had a part in this great success!
Below is a message that I just received from the director of Reece’s Rainbow, Andrea Roberts….
All, your tremendous efforts to get the word out about this incredible opportunity with American Express have been SUCCESSFUL!!!
In one week’s time, the Save an Orphan with Down syndrome project, to be fulfilled by Reece’s Rainbow, has CATAPULTED from last on the list to # 18 out of almost 1200 submitted projects!
We have a very real chance to win at least some of the award money!
We still have 5 days to go in the initial nomination period…..we need to maintain our place in the top 20 with continued new votes. Anyone can nominate at this point….just log in as a guest if you don’t have an Amex account of your own. All new nominations must be in by the end of Monday, September 1. I know many people may be traveling for the holiday, but don’t forget to vote!!!
Now is the time to remind all of those people you have already asked 3 times :) Now is the time to remind those folks who said to themselves “oh yeah, I’ll do that”, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. This opportunity is REAL, it isn’t an online scam or something completely out of reach. We really can win this!!!
Even if you’re not in the Down syndrome or adoption communities, your one little click of the mouse really can change the course of a child’s life, a PARTICULAR child’s life, whom you can watch and say “hey, I was part of that!”
The link for the project is http://www.membersproject.com/project/view/H1LEJ0 You can also view it and click it on our home page at www.reecesrainbow.org
Please add it to your blogs, your e-mail signatures, every Yahoo group you are a part of…..you have all already done it, but we are so close! Please share this update with everyone you have already forwarded to!
God bless, next update will be Friday, although I’m sure you’re all checking the status every 5 minutes like I am 
Artyom thanks you!!! (and he is still waiting for his family to find him!)
Andrea Roberts, Executive Director
Reece’s Rainbow Down Syndrome Adoption Ministry

This is an AMAZING report! Within THREE SHORT DAYS this organization has gone from the very bottom of the list to number 18 out of the 1200 entries!
YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE! YOU ARE SAVING A LIFE!
If you haven’t taken the short time it takes to make this tiny click to vote for Reece’s Rainbow, PLEASE do it now! It IS a matter of life and death! I know that in America we have a saying “It isn’t a matter of life and death” meaning that it isn’t that important. In this case, it IS a matter of life and death! One little click of a mouse could very well save Artyom’s life and all the lives of the children who are left in these orphanages.
If you have already made your vote…. THANK YOU!!! Please spread the word to every single person you know and even those of who you don’t know.
