#Sealey2017



If you haven't heard about Sealey's Summer of 2017 - please go HERE to read all about it !!  In a nutshell, I am challenging YOU to take Sealey's photo out and about with you, and take pictures of him, wherever you may be - then post those pictures on your social media.

Why, you may ask ?

To raise awareness - to get him seen - and to, hopefully, find him a family !  The more he is seen - the greater his chance of being adopted.

Not sure what kind of photos to take ? Check these out - I took them of him (and my son) on our recent vacation to Kentucky, to attend to Reece's Rainbow family reunion !
















As an added incentive,  I am offering $100 to the best picture taken - and shared - by Sealey's 13th birthday at the end of October.

OH - and my husband has offered to donate $5 to Reece's Rainbow's Older Other Angels grant pool,  every time a photo is taken of Sealey's picture and shared on social media (up to $500) !!! 

Use #Sealey2017

Please - join in the fun - read THIS post, then contact me with your address so I can get Sealey's photo to you !!!

You can message me on Facebook - I am "Jenny Scrupps Pohl"

You can e-mail me - pieapple@aol.com (this IS correct, there is NO n in the word)

You can leave a comment on this post.

THANK YOU

Ten Boys



As you all probably know, Sealey is an almost 13 year old orphan living in an institution in Eastern Europe.


I am trying my hardest to find him a family, as any of my Facebook friends can attest to - to learn about Sealey's Summer of 2017, please go HERE, to read my previous blog post about him.

Sadly, Sealey is just one of thousands of disabled children without a family.  

I won't go into the conditions these kids live in, as I am sure that the majority of readers are fully aware - I just want to share a few children today. 

If you want your heart breaking, head to Reece's Rainbow, where you can scroll through hundreds and hundreds of children waiting for a family.  

Otherwise, stick around and check out the children I am about to share - they are all older, all have cerebral palsy, and many probably spend their days doing nothing, eating little, wasting away.  

Please see them - look into their eyes - and consider whether or not they could be YOUR children.
Do you have room for one more ?

You can click on their names to see their profile at Reece's Rainbow.

Drew is 13 years old, has cerebral palsy, and is described as friendly, funny and inquisitive !

Donahue was born in 2004 - according to his profile, he weighs around 30 pounds, and spends his days in his crib, with no toys or distractions.

Joran is about 13 years old also - he is dependent on his caretakers for all of his needs, and yet is described as a happy, loving young boy.

Flynn turned 14 last month, and yet he spends his days doing nothing, absolutely nothing.

Mason turns or turned 14 this year - if you click on his name, you can see a short video of him !

Wayne was born in 2005. He is said to cry often.

Francis will turn 13 in October. While he does not spend his days in a crib, he DOES spend his days sitting in a chair. All day long.

Sherman turns 13 next month, he has mild cerebral palsy - he likes to be independent and is a great helper.
Sherman (1)

Samson will also turn 13 next month. His caregivers say he has a great personality !

Mitch turns 14 this month, and very very very much wants to be adopted !

Ten boys - just a few of the many more listed at Reece's Rainbow who have cerebral palsy. I will share more in a later post.

These boys are all so deserving of a family - they would absolutely thrive, given the chance of a normal life in a loving home

If you are thinking about adoption - please consider one of them.

If you can donate, please do so at the Older Other Angel Grant at Reece's Rainbow - ALL of these boys are eligible for up to a $10,000 adoption grant - and every penny helps !!

Everyone - PLEASE share these kids - you can share this post, or pick one or two of the boys to share.

Whatever you do - please do something.

If not you - then who ??

For more information about adopting, please go to Reece's Rainbow.
