An 18-year-old boy aged out of foster care and had nowhere to go. He began to walk until he could find the nearest freeway, threw himself in front of an 18-wheeler, and committed suicide. The judge who shared this story with Susan Ramirez said that it is so problematic to never understand what that young man's life was supposed to become. It is a disservice to all of us. We're all robbed because of it. And in one hour, Susan’s whole life completely changed. She believes in that very moment God said to her, “This is your burden to bear and I want you to do something about it.” And she left the judge’s talk “feeling the weight of the world.” Susan started what is now National Angels, whose 19 chapters have volunteers doing life with 3,000 kids experiencing foster care and their foster parents! I cannot wait for you to meet Susan on this week’s episode on An Army of Normal Folks (link in the comments)
