hope through darkness

Pictured: Roman, 8, spent half of his young life in foster care before being adopted with help from the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids program in 2020.

Reunited with his siblings, Roman is thriving in his forever home. He says, “This is my favorite house.”

HopeThroughtheDarkness

— Rob Whittington

My wife Martha and I have never been directly

involved in adoption, but we recognize that the real

heroes are those families who open up their homes

and their lives for the welfare of kids in foster care.

We are glad to support the organization in enabling

blessings for other families. Our world has so many

overwhelming needs, so it’s important for us all to

find ways to help others, even in small ways.
