I have a heart for orphans. My own story is a vital piece of the puzzle why.
My folks divorced when I was 5. I lost my mom to cancer when I was 9, and my dad died not long after. I was orphaned and spent about a year in the foster-care system.
I know what it’s like to go to bed each night wondering if someone loves you.
That’s a tough place to be.
But that desperate feeling is a familiar one for an estimated 140 million orphans around the world – a number almost too overwhelming to think about.
