I don't wanna

I don't want for a lot in life...and at times, I just don't want period.

Right now, I don't want my heart heavy with the burden of orphans left behind.

I don't want to cook lunch.

I don't want to clean.

I don't want to do coursework.

I don't want to do a lot.

What I really, really, really don't want is to see this child's life wasted in the institution he has resided in for about half of his precious life.

**disclaimer....this may or may not be Heath, I fully believe it is. The picture was taken in 2010**

Heath is an orphan listed on the Reece's Rainbow website. He will be 12 in a matter of months. He was born with Down syndrome. His needs are great. He will needs lots of love and patience. He may or may not walk. He may or may not exhibit institutional behaviors.

What I do know is this. He is a child, tossed away by society and left. He is tiny. He has a full grant. He has people championing for him. I know he needs a shot at life outside of the confines he knows. I know it will take just ONE family willing to step out and trust he is their child. I know whoever this family is (and it must be a family per the country requirements for where he is) they are out there. I hope that one of us knows them and we can help them find their boy.

Speak up. Share. Pray. Wish. Dream. Realize. Love. Push. Move. 

Do just one thing, please, because I don't wanna see him lost forever.
