Gabriel German is using his wealth to save young lives overseas. It’s the ultimate adoption effort.
Their faces tell this story. They are 268 children in the Philippines who need homes. They need families. They need hope or the future. Now, 48 year old Gabriel German plans to come to their rescue. He plans to adopt 268 little ones.
His business ventures made him a millionaire, and now he’s giving back. We said if were going to do it we'd better do it now and the timing was right, and if I didn’t do it I don’t think anybody else would have the opportunity to do it as well.
Some of the children were living on the streets; eating two meals a weeks; lost souls. Now they live at an orphanage German opened almost two years ago. He will soon move them to live at a Catholic Church compound.
“I think it will give them some kind of stabilities in their lives and someone to look up to. I think that’s what they’re really looking for,” he said. “We’ve got kids from four days up to sixteen, and its great for them not to worry about where their next meal is going to come from.”
German says it will cost $7 a month to care for each child; $1500 a month to care for all of them and to pay for the twenty workers who will help them. It is his commitment for life to save young lives.
“I felt it was my calling to step in and help raise a king size family,” Said Mr. German. “I myself was adopted out of an orphanage in Hawaii when I was three months old and was raised by two wonderful parents. While growing up in a military family I was blessed to see much of the world. I believe this is a “Pay it Forward”, time for me. These kids need me!” It so happened that I was in the right place and the right time with the Kong Mahal Orphanage that I began over a year ago,” added German.
“All I want for the children is for them to have something they can call their own. This is something they have not had a chance to see in their lives so far. I look at this as an opportunity. I have already lived many selfish lives, now at this particular time, I will live a new life that selfishness is not in the equation, added German.
