It Just Got Personal - Part 3

To many this is a picture of a white lady and some random black boy.

To me, it’s my wife holding John.
John fell asleep while watching our IMPACT team do their drama.
Janelle swooped in to pick him up and hold him tight while he dreamed.
John is an orphan who lives in the Mathare slums.
John's primary care giver is a 14 year old girl named Sara.
Tonight he does not have a mommy that will rock him to sleep or comfort his cries.

To many this is a picture of a white lady and some random black boy.
To me, "street kid" has a name, and a story.

It’s John… and it just got personal.
