Speed Bump

A few sunny Friday's ago I bicycled home from work at the Day Care to find this book on the ground in front of a speed bump just before my driveway. I don't believe in coincidences. Since then I have begun researching adoption a little more and have adapted the twin trade, now One Red Guitar Pick to reflect the needs in this area.

The other day I was sitting in an Early Childhood Education program's group intake interview one of the ladies spoke of how at some over crowded, under staffed orphanages children are never touched and sit in their beds alone rocking themselves.
Those who survive grow up to be adults of isolation, living lonely lives as they never learned the joys and challenges of relating to and interacting with other people.


This breaks my heart, and need not be the reality of any child.


What we could do for a few here can make all the difference to many!

Things have also slowed down in terms of offers and visits to the site, one reason for slower traffic is that I have less time to promote the blog. Please feel free to fire an email with a link to Model To Mansion and One Red Guitar Pick to your friends and local media.

In terms of why so few offers, you tell me... There's a beautiful, brand new Italian Crystal Laural Vase with monetary value of $85 awaiting someone's generous trade up offer to move us a little closer towards that mansion; a home of warmth, welcome, love and laughter for orphans no more.



And then to raise the funds necessary to adopt children there is 'trade b 2 rv' with One Red Guitar Pick! in play.

Thank you so much for tuning in, turning on, and taking action to help make miracles happen!


Together we can get over this speed bump...
