I watched a video earlier today, about Reece's Rainbow. I have known about this awesome ministry for several years now, and I did know that this was their 5th year. What I didn't realize was that Andrea started RR in June 2006. June 2006, while I was in my last month of my pregnancy with Owen. While the high risk doctor told me he had never seen a baby with down syndrome as big as the baby was in my belly, so don't worry about it. Back in the time when I knew very little about Down syndrome. Very little. I had really no idea about so much. And I was sure going to learn. How lucky am I?
So much of what Andrea says in the video feels like something that I could say. To have this drive, this passion, for these children who have no voice is one thing. She took that and DID something. She built this ministry, and SHE is SAVING the world, one orphan at a time. And she has saved over 500 children. Children who would have been forgotten. Locked up behind closed doors. Doors she has fought to open. So many doors are still closed. So much work still has to be done. And now that we know, we can help. We CAN do SOMETHING!
I am hoping that this works -- I am going to try to attach the video here. It is worth EVERY minute to watch. Please open your heart, and take the time for these kids.
