Foster Mother Takes an Orphan to Another City to Fulfill His Dream, Ends Up Revealing His Biggest Secret — Story of the Day

For over ten years, Helen, a dedicated foster mother, had helped dozens of children find new homes, filling her heart with joy each time. But one child, twelve-year-old Mark, stayed longer than most, seeming unable to find a family. Mark kept to himself, often spending hours alone at a chessboard, his quiet sadness always evident.

One day, Mark asked Helen for a special favor: to take him to his grandmother, Teresa, whom he hadn’t seen since his parents’ accident. Hopeful, Helen agreed, and they set off to find Teresa’s house, with Mark’s excitement brightening the trip.

When they arrived, Helen received a call from social services revealing the truth: Teresa knew Mark was in foster care but had signed a waiver to relinquish custody. Heartbroken, Helen realized she couldn’t bear to shatter Mark’s hope.

Instead, she gently told him no one was home, suggesting they visit the town square. Standing before a towering Christmas tree adorned in lights, Mark’s disappointment softened into wonder. Helen watched him, her heart aching, determined to find a way for Mark to feel truly loved and wanted, knowing he deserved more than just fleeting happiness.
