Anne’s House — Founded by the Nine Girls Papa Richard Chose When No One Else Would.
Richard fell to his knees in tears.
Each daughter stepped forward, one by one, and placed a white rose in his hands — Anne’s favorite flower.
The oldest, now 49, spoke for them all:
“Papa, you gave us a family when we had none. Today, we give you back what you gave us — a place where love never leaves anyone behind.”
The entire town showed up. Local news cameras rolled. The story spread like wildfire.
