Sweet Keith!!!!!




Keith is 4 years old and weighs just 11 pounds. He is in an orphanage where he receives only the most basic care and no stimulation or opportunity to develop. As a result, Keith is significantly delayed, even for a child with Down syndrome. He spends most of his day in his crib. He can roll and move around in his crib by scooting on his back. He can sit up. He is not able to walk or talk, though he does make some minimal sounds.
Do you have a 4 year old son? How big is he? What does he do during the day?
Keith is 4, he is 11 pounds and he lays in a crib all day long sometimes even being tied to the bars of his crib! Is that right? Would you EVER think of putting your 4 year old son in a crib and leaving him there all day, would you ever think of putting any child in a crib and leaving them there tied to the bars of the crib and then come back a day later? NO because that is not what we do, babies/children should not be left in cribs to die! 11 year olds should not weigh only 10 pounds and be the size of a newborn, you should not be able to see the bones of a child when they are 4 or any age for that matter! Its just not right!
Look at Keiths pants what size do you think those are? Look at how skinny his legs and arms are! Look at his sweet face is he YOUR son? 
When you see a picture of him does it make you want to reach through the screen and say "Mommy is here"? When you see his skinny body do you think that it will be to hard for you to take care of him! If God is telling you "Go get your boy" or "That is your son bring him home" then listen, listen to what God is saying! Keith does not have much time left if no one steps out in FAITH and starts the process to bring him HOME! If he is your son contact reeces rainbow!!!!
If God is not telling you that he is your son but he is telling you to help Keith by donating to his grant so it would be easier for his future family to adopt him then please do so! And praying for him and sharing his story is just as important as donating! If you donate $35 to Keith after November 1st then you will recieve a Christmas Tree ornament with his precious picture on it! Please help us preteens/teens/young adults reach our goal of $1,000 for Keith!!!!! Please pray for Keith that he will gain weight and that he will learn how to talk and walk and that his family will find him and bring him home! Please pray for us as we help him and do our best to reach out goal :)

Thank you
