Strengthen The Good: Strengthening the Good: Debi Faris And The Garden Of Angels
In 1996, while I had one eye on dinner and the other on the evening news, I heard a story that would change my life. I stood frozen as I listened to the reporter's account of the tragedy ... a newborn baby boy had been stuffed into a duffel bag and tossed from a speeding car along a freeway. I couldn't move, I just kept thinking about this child and wondering how we could have become a society that just throws their babies away as if they were a piece of trash.
I contacted the authorities and with the blessing of my family, I asked the Coroner's office to release the baby to us for burial. While waiting for the investigation to end on this child, I learned that there was another newborn baby boy that had been found in a dumpster, and a little girl about two years of age, who was found washed up on a beach.
On August 26, 1996, we had our first burial service for the three children. They were given the names of Matthew, Nathan and Dora.

Poor little things. They never even had a chance at life.
