About Poppies Blooming
oppies Blooming began, in part, as a way to share something very close to our hearts. It is also why 10% of the profit from EVERY purchase is going to a charity that has also become very important to us.
Anyone who has a child or family member with Down's Syndrome (or Down Syndrome if you are from the US) will know what I mean when I say what a difference that family member has made/will make on you. After hours and hours of research and learning as much as we could, there is still so very much to learn!
But one thing we've learned and hope this is something that others will eventually see, is that children with Down's Syndrome are amazing and a gift far beyond what anyone could ever fully imagine.
I've heard it said so many times
...Though we are all made in God's image, people with DS seem a lot closer tothatimage......
by the parents and family
of these wonderful people
that it has changed them,
made them better people,
helped them know and
understand God more fully.
Though we are all made
in God's image, people
with DS seem a lot closer
to that image.
The charity that has become dear to our hearts is Reece's Rainbow. Reece's Rainbow is an International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry. They help to find families for children from all over the world whom have been discarded in orphanages simply because they were born with Down Syndrome or other disabilities.
Which is why we ask that, even if you are not purchasing something from Poppies Blooming today, you would thoughtfully consider if you are able to make even a small donation to Reece's Rainbow.
