I am not braggin.......but I have to share what I have helped accomplish.

I am a numbers cruncher, a digit geek. Those who know me well, KNOW this is true! I am not bragging about my little factoid or what I have helped to do but I want to share some information with everyone of you.

Well, I have a friend Deanna, and her family is in the process of adopting a child born with Down syndrome from a European country.

These adoptions are NOT cheap. They are costly, shamefully, costly when you see how these children live and are treated. And each and every child waiting to be adopted is literally living on borrowed time.

Ok, back to my numbers fascination. You see Deanna needs to raise around $30,000 for this adoption. Deanna also has 1,406 friends on Facebook. It turns out if every person would donate just $21 she could raise nearly all of that $30,000 and for $21.34 from every friend on Facebook she could raise the full amount!!! Just an extra 21!!!!

This is not coincidence. I don't believe in coincidence. I believe in what I like to to call a "God Nod" or a "God Thing". An extra $21 to bring home a child with an extra 21st chromosome to their FOREVER home. That is pretty cool.

This is Melanie
Grab This!
Have you got an extra $21?? I will be sending mine to Deanna, it won't be easy but it will get done!!

I generally don't have the extra money and tend to donate some of my Longaberger baskets for this sort of thing (and will be doing so for the fundraiser Cathy will be hosting for Melanie and Deanna), but after realizing the 21 connection---I cannot not send the extra 21!!!

AND if you have an extra 21 you can help Deanna too http://reecesrainbow.org/sponsorsader
