Kindle Giveaway extended!

We have decided to extend the drawing for one more week -- instead of drawing today, the giveaway winner will be chosen and announced on Friday, July 22nd!  We wanted to be able to give as many people as possible a chance to donate and win.  We knew that there were some who needed more time to get their donations in, so it made sense to extend it a week.  To enter, follow this LINK and read the details.  It's easy!

I found a link to a photo gallery tonight that really rocked me.  One picture in particular.

This is a child who is sentenced to a life in a mental institution in Eastern Europe.  He/she was likely transferred near his/her 4th birthday.  This picture shows a tiny child with Down syndrome, arms bound.  Believe it or not, it is likely that this child is actually 8 or more years old. 

This child is one of the "forgotten ones".
