Our Higher Purpose...
Above photo is the mansion I grew up in. I became a ward of the state at age 7 and grew up in the Waldo Burton Boys Home in New Orleans until the age of 15 years old. At 15 I was emancipated and started my journey through life.
This is probably where I was taught to help others and to have a higher purpose in life. The home is privately run and relies on the alumni like me to take care of the boys.
