Being single, working full time doesn’t look like the perfect opportunity to take care of vulnerable children. But it was what God had called me to, and I knew that he would provide.
The first baby I cared for was a three-day-old baby boy named Armani. My Safe Families coordinator asked me, “Are you overwhelmed?” I’m like, “Well, yeah, I just got a newborn baby that I’m bringing home.” She replied, “Just let us know what we can do for you.” And by the time I got home that night I had formula and onesies, diapers, wipes, dinner, all brought to my house. I was able to care so well for this incredible newborn that was placed in my care.
These families have changed my life. They have shown me what true, unconditional, selfless love is.
