Some of my favorite people...

I want to introduce you to some of my favorite people. They are people that I have come to care about deeply. 

A few times a month, I visit a very special foster home that cares for orphans with special needs. The home is run by women who met online and shared this passion: to care for the very least of society. So, they have dedicated their lives to rescuing these precious ones. 

They travel all around the country to different large orphanages and ask for the children in the very most difficult situations. They bring them back to their home and work to get them the necessary surgeries and find them families. 

This little boy is a very special person. He has experienced more pain in his short life than I can imagine. He never smiles, never laughs. Instead, he just sighs heavy with sadness. Each morning and each evening, the women at the orphanage have to break and reset his feet. If this did not work, he will need severe (and expensive) surgery on his legs. My heart hurt so much to see him go through that. Sometimes I doubt that my visits make any difference. But when playing with him- if we get even a little smirk, its a victory!
