It was the most amazing experience, listening to people’s stories, getting the chance to share their stories with the people in America. But it was Susan’s story that really resonated with us. Her story was one of unselfishness.

She had opened her home and her arms to the littlest victims of the AIDS crisis, children who had lost their parents, and at times were found wandering the streets, with nothing and no one to take care of them. …

But Susan decided that she could do something as one person. She has changed the lives of so many children who walk through her doors. She doesn’t have much to offer in terms of physical things, but what she does have to offer is love, a huge hug and a safe place.

We spoke with her a few days ago and she told us she has taken in even more children since we saw her. Below is the story that my student Jen Wahl produced about Susan and her quest to save these children one at a time.

She has set up an organization to help with the care of these children, as well as others in the community in South Africa where she lives. If you would like to help out Susan and her kids, please check out her site.

Thank You,
