I Am My Mother's Keeper Caring for Parent with Mental Illnes

Born to biological parents who were both diagnosed with a Mental Illness, Tom entered foster Care at 8 years of age, experiencing 7 placements until he aged out at 18 years old. 

Looking back upon his childhood Tom sees a mixture of setbacks and successes, having graduated from college, served as a volunteer missionary, and fluent in three languages.  However he says all he’s ever wanted to do since he was 10,   “was come back home where I belong”

Today Tom is a budding entrepreneur and says he loves being home where he belongs, taking care of his mother whom he believes is much happier today than she has been for decades.
