    People are so worried about politics, making money, power, and how much they cannot pay in taxes. while we have 250+ million children in the world suffering in foster care is disgusting and if you believe in god, or anything like it and you make over 250k a year and are not fostering or supporting foundations that help other families do this, shame on you. wealth will never define you and you can not pay your way into heaven, you have to care for and earn it, and ignoring children while you have significant wealth is sinful. Someone just hit over 1 billion in a lottery in 2022 and could change the lives of a dozen on children, but will probably go on many trips, buy homes, drugs, girls, and cars, and burn it all on selfish things. Had I won this I would have used 90% would have gone to set up a home for foster children to come lean and live staffed by veterans (150 million to build the facility) which would help them find purpose and direction, using the money to make a difference in the lives of children and veterans, by building a home then could live and then creating a no profit that could serve on the internet generating from the rest, other 600 million to fund and staff this. This would change the lives of so many children and veterans and make a foundation that others could support that would help create a future for so many children and honor so many veterans,, but no people with 250-1 billion, want more money, more power, and more things. We can do so much more for the world is we share rather than horde and live in selfish greed.

      @@elliesouza717 I work in a mentor program through the state and after school program for our district. I also take in youths release from the system and allow them to live on my home at a reduced rate until they find there own place and are stable. While here i teach them skills such and cooking. Managing money, investing, cleaning, and other life skills. In addition im informing other how they can help. Caring for children it more then from sperm to out the womb, it is also for the life of the child, you dont abandon them at age 1. So other then being a sinikle waist if space what are you doing to help make the lives of children better?

    We have adopted four older children from foster care at various times in our lives. All were severely traumatized! Trust us such a huge issue. Yes they were difficult during their initial placement and during some of those teenage years. They are ages 22-40 now and we are so thankful for our amazing loving children! They have contributed greatly to our very happy life. They were adopted at ages 8, 13, 15, and 16 none were biologically related now they are siblings with our other four children. Life is very full and fun
