Carlita and her husband take in kids from the neighborhood who have nowhere else to go. In addition to raising her own family of six children, Carlita has fostered 47 kids over the years.
"I just have a big heart. If I see a little kid that don't have a home..."
If you meet her, she’ll laugh as she tells you how her husband threatens to divorce her if she brings home any more kids or animals. She knows it’s not true.
Though her own budget is tight, Carlita usually finds a way to set one more place at the table, both in her home and in the school cafeteria where she works. “There’s a lot of kids that go without eating around here,” she explained.
