Adopting a child is one of the most noble and socially responsible things you can do, which is why Patricia Heaton’s involvement with a charity that aids in the adoption of children with disabilities is amazingly special.
Patricia has volunteered to donate $1 for every person who follows the charitable ministry Reece’s Rainbow on twitter (up to $10,000), in an effort to raise awareness about the charity.
Said Heaton:
“I found out about Reece├óΓé¼Γäós Rainbow online after doing some research on the trouble that children who suffer from Down Syndrome face in being adopted domestically and especially internationally, where many countries institutionalize these children. I just started crying immediately, it was so upsetting to learn about the challenges these children face.”
She continued:
“As a parent myself, you think about all the ills of social media, but this technology is amazing when you see what it can do to impact a cause like this.”
This is an incredible cause, and if you have a twitter account, FOLLOW Reece’s Rainbow!
Seriously.
