Angle Tree 2014

Hi everyone  it is that time of the year again!  Reece's Rainbow Angel Tree.  I am excited to announce that for the very first time, I will be participating!  I have chosen to be an Angel Tree Warrior for Annalise, a very special little girl who is from the same country as our Chance and Callie.  As a matter of fact, she lives with and is BFF's with Callie.  My goal is to raise at least $1000 to her Angel Tree fund.  My ultimate goal is that this will help her family step forward more quickly.  If she is not adopted in the next few years, she will likely spend the rest of her life in an institution and will have no hope at a "normal" life.  Here is what we know about Annalise:

Born August 2003 (or maybe December)

Down syndrome, CHD (repaired)

This energy filled and vibrant little girl was born with Down syndrome in August of 2003 and is ready for an active family with lots of structure. She can understand and speak two languages, including English. She had surgery to repair a heart defect in 2003, but has required no additional treatment. Annalise is beaming with sunshine and loves cell phones and cameras, like all curious little girls! She loves to be the center of attention and is very smart!

Updated April 2014:

Annalise is an active, friendly girl who speaks clearly with an extensive vocabulary. She uses short sentences and understands two languages, one of them English. Annalise walks independently, including up and down stairs.

Annalise has great self-help skills. She eats and drinks as well as dresses and undresses without assistance. She can wash her hands and brush her teeth on her own.

Annalise attends school where she has learned to count, recognize 25 letters, cut with scissors and paint. She can re-tell a short story and participates in simple games. Annalise likes to listen to music and dances very well. She would thrive in a loving family.

MARRIED COUPLES ONLY.

I have an online Celebrating Home Fundraiser set up specifically for Annalise, 50% of the sales made through THIS LINK will go towards Annalise's Angel Tree Fund.
