iPad Giveaway


We are kicking off our fundraising for Kareen with an iPad giveaway!






iPad Giveaway for KAREEN!


Kareen is a 4 year old little girl with Down syndrome who was given up at birth and has lived in an orphanage in Eastern Europe ever since. In her country a child with special needs is only held in an orphanage until the age of 4 or 5 and is then transferred to an institution where conditions are bleak and offer little hope for living a fulfilling life. Kareen's story has touched our family, and we are committed to bring her home. The cost of international adoption is very high, and we could use your help!

Donate now through Saturday, February 5th, when one lucky person will receive a Brand New 16GB Wi-Fi iPad

For every $10 donated, you will be entered into a drawing for the iPad (i.e. $50 equals 5 entries). Also, if after donating, you advertise this giveaway on your blog or facebook, you will get an additional entry. Simply leave me a comment with your name and the link to your post.

Ways to Donate:

Every dollar helps, and brings us closer to having our little angel home safe.

Thanks for your Support!!!

- Kris & Kecia Cox


***Feel free to grab one of the buttons from our sidebar for your own blogs***

    Congratulations Kecia and Kris! Looks like you are off to a good start in every direction! I did just make a small donation to both sites, just for my own confirmation of how they are working. (Plus the iPad is the perfect incentive right now. LOL) Both "Chip In", and "Reese's Rainbow" work slick. I've also applied your two grab-buttons (links) to a couple of my blogs. I'll send you my sites after I make a couple further revisions.
    One thing on your blog here that you may want to check. On your link buttons, you say to "right click, then "select all." That worked fine on the button for Reeses Rainbow. But for your blog link button, the "select all" selects your entire blog! Might just be a bit of an impediment for someone. Your family is the best - carry on!
