The village grows

Look at the FSP button to the right of our page.

Just keep checking back.

You are going to see that number take a bit of a leap soon.


Now look at the photo.

That's Marcie and Jason. And Ben and Joe and Charlie.

I've never met them.

Up until very recently. I'd never spoken to any of them.

It came as a total surprise when I was contacted about this family.

Apparently, they are pretty amazing people.

See, when little Ben was born and diagnosed with Down syndrome, they decided to take on a new venture in life.
They found out about orphans with his same diagnosis, and what would have happened to Ben, had he been born elsewhere in this world.
They refused to do nothing. Instead, they decided to do something big.

Last year, they held a benefit concert supporting a family adopting through Reece's Rainbow.
It was a success.

This year, they decided to do the same thing. This year, they decided to hold a concert benefiting a couple different families adopting through Reece's Rainbow.
They chose us as one of these families.

Once again, the concert was a success.
Because of the Niegsch family, because of their friends, the supporters they gathered, and the generous donations of all these people,
our grant for Elisha's adoption is growing.

We are humbled. Floored. Speechless.
We are thankful.



Not only has our grant grown, but because of this family, our village grows as well. We have more people that know her story. More people that care and want her coming home. More people that realize this is not a "feel-good" mission, it's not a "kind" thing that we are doing.

There are children. Children without families. Children with disabilities. Children who don't need much, just need moms and dads who are willing to say, "Come on in. We want you." And now, they know. And because they know, they can do something great.

I'm so very thankful to this family for all that they have done. For us, for Ben, for Reece's Rainbow, and for all these children who so desperately need to come home.

Happy Birthday, little Ben. You are changing the world, kiddo. Two years on this planet and because of you, multiple lives have been saved. Not bad for a kid 92% of the U.S. population would have rather aborted than given a chance at life.

Thank you, village.
