What does Maya’s Hope do for kids around the globe? Well, I’ve shared the stories of Joshua and Chesca.  But now I want you too meet a new little girl that Maya met while in the Philippines recently. 

Meet Jennifer. She is 7 years old.

As Maya was out and about, she spotted this sweetheart with her mother and was compelled to go introduce herself and meet Jennifer . She was so moved by her story that she decided on the spot, this kiddo needs to be a Maya’s Hope kid!
Jennifer was a normal 6 year old last year, when suddely her life changed.  She is now completely affected by a huge facial tumor.  As one can guess, her quality of life is no longer very good and she is likely plagued by immense pain.
Not much is known about her condition, but it is abundantly clear she needs medical attention.   Remember, this sweetie was a normal happy kid with no tumor, just a year ago.

Just look at her smiling face…
Jennifer is just a little girl. She likes girly things like play jewelry and pretty sparkles. She likes the same things other little girls her age do, playing and having fun. The hope is that someday she will be able to do all the things she enjoys without other kids teasing her, without pain, without fear.

Consider helping Maya’s Hope and help out a sweet kid, and perhaps a couple of other kiddos too by going here.  Plus, the bonus is that you’ll be entered to win an awesome prize!

I’m changing it up folks so listen up! 

I realize the $20 entry donation to my giveaway is unappealing… So I’m going to sweeten the deal by quite  a lot.

Remember, it’s all for them and so many more…

I want to pass my goal amount and then some!

And a genuine sterling silver Pandora bracelet worth over $100!

Let’s do this!

Hope is beautiful.

Hope has so much potential.

She is 7 years old.

7 years old and just 10 pounds! 

She has the chance become part of a loving family, the Horton’s.

She will be a daughter for the first time.

She will be a sister for the first time.

I’d like to introduce one of Hopes new sisters, Sophia. 

Sophia is from the same orphanage that Hope is in. 

You see, when Sophia was adopted by the Horton’s at age 4, she weighed just 10 pounds. 

I met this angel shortly after she came home. She fit in an infant car seat and looked like a baby.  This, from years of neglect.

But living with this amazing family, little fragile Sophia became a happy 26 pound 6 year old! 

Tell me that’s not astounding.

Tell me that’s not remarkable.

Tell me Hope hasn’t got the same chance to be a chubby, smiley, happy kid. 

The proof is right in front of your eyes with Sophia’s transformation.  

I know this family, the Horton’s.  They are truly amazing people.  Right now they are trying to expedite Hope’s adoption due to her fragile condition.  It is so much more dire than imagined.  But with that, comes more need, more fees and a totally different timeline.  But despite these unforeseen hardships, they don’t want to let Hope down, they want to go get their daughter.

Please go here to help  any one of three different amazing causes, the Horton’s included, or donate a little to each of them!  Oh, and when you donate, you’ll be entered to win some money and some bling!  

Let’s  band together and do something great today!

Hope and the Horton family thanks you!
