Reece's Rainbow Christmas Angel Tree




This little cutie is Oleg. He lives in an orphanage in Eastern Europe. I am his Christmas warrior this year. He will soon turn five and be sent to live in a mental instutution for the rest of his short life...because he was born with Down syndrome. Can you help me to help Oleg find a family before that happens?


International adoption is expensive, and that expense prevents many of those wishing to rescue a child from doing so. Reece's Rainbow endeavors to raise funds for these very special children, therefore, enabling families to take that leap of faith and commit to adoption. Every bit helps and all monies designated for a certain child are placed in a grant fund FOR THAT CHILD. :)


The Christmas Angel Tree is Reece's Rainbow's biggest fundraiser of the year. Christmas Warriors choose a child to advocate for during the holiday season (Nov. 1st - Dec. 31). The fundraising goal is $1000 for every child's grant. That thousand dollars can go a long way for a family making the decision on which child they will commit to bringing into their home. Having that first bit of money there can be a great encouragement to a family...


You can find Oleg and all the other precious "Angels" needing families on the Angel Tree page of the Reece's Rainbow website http://www.reecesrainbow.org/ . If you donate $35 or more, you will recieve a beautiful ornament with your chosen child's picture on it! (To recieve an ornament, you must donate by Dec. 15th) All donations are tax deductable. Remember, no donation is too small!


Oleg's story can be seen at the above website...cick on the "Most at risk, ages 3-5" tab to view.
Let's give this precious little boy the hope of a family for Christmas!
