I am a social worker, so obviously, I do not have boat loads of money to give, but I do have time and a skill to give. My mission is to open an Etsy store and the profit of the items I sell will go to families and children in need. Families working to raise funds for their adoptions can advertise my site and when people purchase an item they simply specify which family the donation goes to via the Reece's Rainbow Family or Child Sponsorship account. Simple yes?!
Don't know about Reece's Rainbow? Go and find out more! My heart breaks for these children who are not given the chance to reach their full potential.
This looks like a beach full of people having fun to the average person. But it is really a powerful image. Do you see that cream color building that doesn't match the rest? That is an institution for children with mental and physical disabilities. Did they get to enjoy the ocean and the sun? No. Everyone is having a jolly ol' time while there are children hidden away solely because of a disability.
That building no longer exists. Due to it's location it was sold so a Hilton could go in and luckily, they were able to build a brand new building with proper plumbing and a therapy pool! If every child benefits from it, I don't know. But my experience while working there tells me only the favorites do.

This is the room I worked in. About 15 beds each filled with a child most of the day. They aren't in this picture as it was meal time. They are lined up and fed their meals and then put in pajamas and back in their beds for the night. Little interaction. Notice no toys.
How can you not see that children aren't suppose to live like this?
