Why is this important to you? I am deeply concerned about orphans in the world and I know I can’t help them all and I can’t even adopt right now since it’s tough raising even one child on my own but I feel that every child should have a family and I have an idea of combining foster homes with elderly homes where children can have older people in their life and the older lonely people can have a feeling of family as well and they can take care of each other and support and inspire each other on a daily basis. My dream is to create facilities like these to add hope and excitement in these peoples’s lives. I need a platform to be heard and supported.
