My marathon began 15 years ago, when my life started to merge with the mission of Hope and Homes for Children. I was pushing forward without stopping in a race filled with ups and down, joys and efforts, but the motivation always remained the same: every child needs a family. But now it's time for another stage: my eldest children, Mara and Aaron, are running with me for the same cause. I'm proud of this. You can contribute too, if you want. Remember how much your parents mean to you.
