Glad to have him as a Cornhusker.

[@jamesblumensheid353]

Hats off for great parents and their love for these two kids!

[@teresalegler2777]

All it takes is the first act of kindness. One door leads to countless other doors, and purpose. A loving family with guidance makes a world of difference in the life of an abused child or adult.

This is so heartwarming. I worked at a group home for kids that could not be placed in foster homes and I could not believe some of the things they told me about what they had lived through. I'm so thankful this family opened their home and their hearts to this young man and his sister ❤️

[@andreahogan648]

We need more people like this. It so awful 😞😞😞😞 how children are treated. Some people shouldn't have children.

[@virginianorby644]

Thank God for his REAL family. I am so thankful his biological mother did not keep being in the picture. Good luck to all of them.

Fabulous young man - he'll change many lives

Just love Malachi ‘s giving back to those in need making life better; what a wonderful person you’ve become out of all the hurt you suffered

[@teresacatherine3811]

You will go far with that great attitude of helping others. Wish you lots of love and success in your future Malachi. God bless you.

It doesn’t take much. A small snowball can become an avalanche. This young man has made a snowball. It will become an avalanche of good for foster kids. May the Lord grant him the peace of God which passes all understanding in his heart. May he find and walk with the Lord and may he find it in his heart to forgive his mom. It’s unimaginable where she was at when she abandoned her children. May she also find peace and the strength to forgive herself!

[@user-li2vl4yd1x]

He deserves the world 🌎.

[@pamelahomeyer748]

Wonderful young man who started out with a chip on his shoulder. He knows better than anyone else what a small gesture of kindness can do. That small Ripple of Hope that Robert Kennedy spoke of in his speech is alive and well

[@earthmoon003]

I love how he is able to help foster kids in ways he was not when he was younger. It's great he and his sister are safe and in a loving forever home.
