Last month a friend of mine on facebook sent me a message challenging me to donate some of my services to the Pennsylvania heart gallery. For those of you who don’t know there are over 2000 children in the state of PA seeking adoption.
It breaks my heart to see all these children in need of families… Most of them after age six just end up being pushed around the state from family to family. Often these kids end up living on the streets if not given a permanent home by the age of 12.
There is a special place in my heart for these kids as I belonged to Lackawanna county until I was 5 years old. I ended up being adopted by an incredibly loving family at a young age. I often think about what my life would have looked like if it were not for the heart of a woman in her 50′s who decided to plead to keep me when it was time to move on to another foster family.
I was so convicted by what I saw that now I will be representing the Scranton and Wilkes Barre area chapters of the heart gallery as one of their photographers.
I have been looking for a way my business could give back to the community and this just seemed like a natural fit for me.
My hope is that through pictures children find homes.
