The Over-The-Wall Giveaway

Look at the adorable faces below.  The little beauty in red is named Bernadette.  The handsome little guy is named Mason.  They need your help! At this moment, Bernadette and Mason have $6386.22 in their adoption account.  Their parents are traveling very soon and are about $6,600 short of what they need to be able to get them.  I want to help get them "over-the-wall" and be free to focus on leaving rather than funding.  Also, right now they have a $1000 matching grant!  Each dollar given automatically doubles!  Where on earth can you get a 100% increase on your investment AND help save two lives at the same time?

These two beautiful children are in a decent orphanage.  They get their physical needs met, but because they have Down Syndrome, they are stuck in a boring room away from all the other children. All they had in their future was a promise of "life" at a mental institution.  However, their loving adoptive family is coming and they have property where the children will finally be able to run and play, and they will be cherished.  Let's not let a measly $6000 stand in their way of Mel and Erika getting them for one.single.day.
