important, beautiful, life-saving, free *LINK FIXED

A friend alerted me that the link in this post was broken--and it sounds like mine might not have been the only one, from the new link I made. Please do check out the giveaway--AMAZING STUFF and all going to a great cause!

There is a giveaway--the most amazing giveaway I have ever seen!--happening on this blog from now until the 13th.  It is to help find a forever family for a precious Eastern European orphan, Vanya. 


He is running out of time to be adopted, and at any time might be moved to an institution where he would spend the rest of his life among the mentally ill and other discarded people.  A sweet, deserving child, condemned to a jail-like existence, just because he was born to people who were unhealthy in body and spirit and gave him HIV.

Vanya is completely adoptable, and deserves the chance at a family!  There is bound to be a family who has the desire to adopt and hearts for hids with HIV (more and more familes are adopting these kids, from all over the world, and they say it is an entirely managable disease) who will hear about him and when they do, because of this fund-raiser there will be some $ to help jump-start the expensive adoption process and help Vanya get home.

(When bloggers who have visited the orphanages and spent time with the kids advocate for one specific child who they think is really special, I tend to listen.  All children deserve homes.  But not all children are the kind of kid you just want to sneak home in your pocket, they are so sweet and just want to be loved.  I get the feeling Vanya is in the latter category.)

So please jump over and check out the AMAZING goodies you could win!  Yes, they are raising funds, so donations are the most obvious way to earn chances to win.  But you can also win by posting about this on your own blog, or on facebook!
