I am a Family Warrior!!!

Reece's Rainbow introduced a new program that lets people select a family to support as they bring their child home.  The Jenks family added Emilija to their adoption and I have spoken with Rebecca about their journey, fundraising and the girls.  I felt rather torn as who to pick but this seemed like the right choice as I have been advocating for them and Emilija all along.  

The Jenks family currently has six children and have already adopted two babies with Down Syndrome.  Emilija and Veronika will be joining their family so they will then have two teenagers with Down Syndrome.  You may be saying, "I could never do that..."  but they can!  So support them and their awesome family!!!  Veronika is said to be a girly girl and little information is known about Emilija except that she is not in a good orphanage and needs out NOW!  Without a family adopting them, both would be destined to spending their lives in a mental institution.




Some of their current fundraisers are: 
A weekly auction of two items that Mr. Jenks makes. They are AWESOME wooden toys!

A Superbowl fundraiser, pick a square for $10 and have a chance of winning $50-125!!! 


As always, you can help the Jenks family or any other family raise money by shopping on Ginger on a Mission!
