Foster Dad To 4 Children Of Convicted Criminals

[Catherine Therese]

My cousin is in his early 20s. About 18 months ago he and his girlfriend moved in together (less than ideal, I know) but they did so because there were four young kids whose parents had just gone to prison, convicted of VERY serious charges that mean their stay in prison will be somewhere in the vicinity of 25-to-life. My cousin and his girlfriend, who is the younger sister of one of the criminals, stepped up and became their legal guardians. A father of four overnight, and barely out of high school himself. That's a pretty big ask, and he is doing an amazing job of raising these kids, and I'm incredibly proud of him for his courage and generosity.

 

This Fathers Day (Sunday 7 September in my country) I ask for prayers for him from all of the Pham, please. Many thanks!
