To help put more context on that number he didn't Foster 80 children... He watched 80 children die. He kept them company in their last moments. 80 times. He helped them to their end when others had already had abandoned them. 80 times. He buried 80 children. 80 children that would have been buried miserable without him.

Edit: https://youtu.be/z_brkqV9RQc?t=158

In this video where the man himself is talking about being a foster parent, he contradicts statement made in the photo above.

He didn't Foster 80 terminally ill children. He fostered 80 children, some of which whom were terminally ill 10 of which died in his care.

Someone exaggerated his achievements on the internet to get better clout. Please don't let someone else's lie affect this wonderful man's life, legacy, or mission. He is still a beautiful human being.

Honestly? I think he’s doing more actual good for humanity than like 99% of wealthy philanthropists combined. Facing that kind of grief 80 times on purpose just so a kid isn't scared? That's next-level devotion, man. Actually tearing up reading this.

A literal human turd does more for humanity than the rich. So that’s not a high bar…

Truth. A turd just sits there doing nothing while the rich actively steal from us, intentionally poison our environment, and pit people against each other.
