Annmarie Richards is a woman of warmth, kindness and love who has opened her home – and her heart – to taking in and raising 32 children.
Richards has dedicated her time to making a positive impact in the lives of children everywhere and she’s done this by raising more than 32 homeless kids across her home country of Jamaica.
In a short film published on YouTube, Richards’ compelling story tugs on the hearts of viewers who witness the joy she has spread through her acts of kindness.
“There are children who are on the streets, there’s a lot of teenage pregnancies, there is not enoughfood, not enough money for school, not enough modern parents to help them grow up to be all they can be,” Richards says in the video.
“I recognized that there were so many kids that were in need. I recognized myself on the streets and so my husband and I decided we’re going to try and do something.”
In taking action, Richards and her husband decided to invite these children into their home and raise them as their own.
“We sent them to school, we bathed them, we washed them, and we took them in. We took care of them,” Richards says. “How we do it is we take you on unconditionally, we don’t need to know where you’re from, we just know that the love in our heart … is a reason to help another child.”
