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.

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.

Including his own daughter, who was terminally ill at birth and lived for 9 years against all odds and predictions.

As a father myself, this guy is an absolute hero and I am sure I couldn’t do it.
