This little girl needs someone who cares

Look at this beautiful little girl!  This wonderful girl is living behind the walls of an institution, but that hasn't dampened her spirits. Not only does she have a wonderful smile, but she sings like an angel!

This girl longs for a sponsor who will care about her from a distance.  All that you have to do is send her a package several times a year.  You will have her joy in return! What a small price to pay!
I am hoping to add a video of her singing very soon. Please contact Life2Orphans about being this girls sponsor and sending her packages of encouragement from afar. Contact: questions@life2orphans.org

Another reason to celebrate!

Look what I got in my inbox!!  Isn't she looking grown up? It is hard to believe that only a few years ago she looked like this:

Underweight, malnourished, confined to a bed all day.

Now she looks like a normal child should, with a glowing smile!
Please consider sponsoring a child.  It is the best thing I have ever done.
Check out the new kids I put underneath the "sponsor these kids" tab on this blog.

Look at M!

I just got a new photo of M today.

Look how well he is doing with his sponsor!
This little boy needs a home *so badly*  While he is doing well having an individual sponsor provided for him, it is not any where near the same thing as if he were in a family.
Life2Orphans also has significant concerns about his medical needs, which are simply not able to be
cared for properly in his country. M has hydrocephalus and spina bifida. You can see that his legs are constantly fixed in an uncomfortable condition. In our country these things would be cared for relatively easily.
In his country, there is extreme concern for his health and well being.
I know there are many homes out there who would be blessed by Maxim. What joy he would bring
to a family, experiencing things outside of the institution for the first time!
Life2Orphans is currently accepting donations for an adoption fund for Maxim. There is a chip-in on the side of my blog. 
What he needs most is a family to step forward for him.
Is that family you?

Look at what you sponsors are doing!

Yes, I am blogging again, after a long hiatus!
And it is all because of these pictures I got in my inbox.
Look at this little girl:

Can you believe that less than a year ago, this beautiful little girl looked like this?:

This, my friends is what a mere $40 a month will do through the Life2Orphans IOC program.
If you want to make a truly life changing difference to an orphan, please contact Life2Orphans at

There are many orphans listed under the "Sponsor these orphans" tab on this blog page, and there are many more not listed as well. You will truly be changing a life.

Also, the director at Torez has sent out a desperate plea for medications that will help prevent reflux in the children. Reflux is a common problem with many children with disabilities, especially the bedridden, and can lead to severe malnourishment and death. Pictures have been circulating recently of children in a Bulgarian orphanage who are suffering from malnourishment, and many of these children likely also have problems with reflux. The absolute *best* way to help a child with this problem is to be an IOC sponsor. This will ensure not only that the child receives the medication they need, but also that they are carefully fed, and kept upright after eating. If you do not feel you can afford a monthly payment, please consider sending a one time donation to Life2Orphans marked for refulx medication. You can donate at this link:

Look at the before and after picture above, and you know that whatever you do will make an impact.
