Some San Antonio kids gave their mother a chance to be mother to hundreds of children far away.
It was for a Miracle Foundation Mother's Day campaign that gives everyone a chance to build an orphanage in India.
"Are our children going to judge us harshly?" asked Miracle Foundation founder Caroline Boudreaux. "We look at our ancesters and think, 'What do you mean you had slaves? That's crazy.' And I think our kids are going to look back and say, 'What do you mean you let children starve to death when they didn't have to?'"
The Miracle Foundation in Texas has been taking on the issue with a unique Mother's Day campaign.
It managed to raise $100,000 to fund a new orphanage this week.
Lana Breakie, whose company owns several San Antonio-area Taco Bell and KFC restaurants, is one of the many families who were shocked at the number of orphaned children world-wide -- more than 130 million, according to UNICEF.
"I didn't know anything about people laying them on the street and walking off and leaving them," Breakie said. "I had no clue that there were so many children without someone to care for them."
Now Breakie's name -- and that of many other moms -- will be on the walls of the new orphanage, the 10th for the Miracle Foundation, for the children there to see.
"I can't think of a cooler way for these kids to have their orphanage walls to be lined with the names of loving mothers," Boudreaux said.
The Miracle Foundation is taking the orphan crisis so seriously that it's testing an incentive program for orphanages around the world to get paid to care for these children with better food, medical care, and education.
